-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Commentary via NetworkWorld. [snip] An old cipherpunk saying goes, Theres power in numbers large prime numbers. Encryption is a very powerful tool that's used by almost all companies to secure data in transit over untrusted networks. Up to now weve used encryption to protect against criminal elements, but what about using it to protect our data from service providers? Encryption can shield our data from overzealous traffic management, which is what some providers are calling it when they send a TCP RST to both ends of traffic that they dont like. I call that denial of service.
