Re^5: OpenID alternatives, what do you suggest

Hey, I never said they had reasoned out their desire. I just said they don't want it. In quite recent years it was illegal to export any kind of cryptographic information from the US at all in a way in which anyone from certain countries might find it. See encryption golf (one time pad) for a brief discussion of how useful that was.

I'm beginning to think that the really dangerous terrorists are not even using cell phones, computers, or anything electronic anymore...... not because they are too dumb, but because they know it will attract attention to themselves and the recipient. Electronic communication is too easy to track, and sets off red flags. I remember when public key encryption was taking off in the 90's with linux, and privacy-advocates were asking people to encrypt all emails, so as to confuse and overload the agents watching for encrypted messages. But I doubt it has overwhelmed the watchers, few people encrypt, and those that do just flag themselves as suspicious. Occaisionally I like to post a message to alt.test consisting of just a random binary string, mostly to give them some overtime. :-) I'll bet carrier pigeons and secret hand signs are more useful now. I say watch who is buying lots of pigeon feed, they are dangerous. WOW, is this coincidence or what?
