Default DIY privacy and security, the rights of the individual against theintrusive state.

I've been giving some thought as to how to
protect one's privacy from the ever growing
snoopings of the Brit monarchy and all its
lapdogs and subordinate dogs' dinners
such as GCHQ, the MIxs and the po lice,
and to kill off RIPA and the sending of innocent
people to jail for not revealing their
passwords and security keys to the plodderies.

1. In case of computers being seized, you have to
guard against previous data being scattered around
the disk in various deletions. The solution here would
be to store all data in an indexed data base file of
such a size that it won't be moved willy nilly by
the OS. Then, by overwriting records at fixed and
known locations, previous data can be guaranteed
to be deleted.

2. When receiving encyphered messages, the one-time key
is to be the previously received message, giving only
one opportunity to read your message before it takes the
place of the previously received message at the fixed
location in the indexed data base.

3. Still working on data that has to be kept indefinitely,
watch this space.
