[SystemSafety] Ross Anderson on Consequences of Surveillance

[Les Chambers]

Thanks Peter
Good article. I suspect that average Joe versus big government is a battle
that neither side will ever win (much like the battle of the sexes).
Speaking as an average Joe I think we just need to make sure that we aren't
crushed by the over regulated societies we live in. Surely encryption tools
are the solution. Does anyone on the list have a favourite? 
In a related area my limited research has thrown up a problem you face if
your private data is stored in an on-line database. Querying on encrypted
keys complicates everything. The only solution seems to be doing everything
by the numbers. For example medical records are probably safe in plain sight
as long as their owner is just a number. I would be interested if anyone on
the list has had experience with this. 
Cheers 
Les
