Default RIPA Them and Us; conceiving of a D-I-Y system?

Brian Gaff wrote

An interesting concept, but surely then they would have access to the
system we used to create them which would be as good as having them.


Not if the system detects that sort of non you access and deletes them.

In the end I think I'd not go paranoid over that particular problem, I'd
think more about the nasty person who hacks your account for gain, and
I'd like to suggest somee thing based on DNA, rather than anything else.


Trouble is we have no DNA sensors currently.

Its no good using retina scanning as some people do not have eyes or at
least ones that can be seen as normal,


Those just don’t get to use that sort of security.

some people do not have fingerprints, I know two like that, no swirls,


Ditto.

and I'm not keen on the Apple Face ID idea even though I'm forced to use
it since its only max security if you have attention mode on and I cannot
use that myself.


The problem with those is that they don’t
have to force you to give them the password,
just wave the phone at your face etc.

Maybe we should all be microchipped.


Wouldn’t work either, because they would know
the chip code and can fake that trivially.

I bet that would **** a lot of people off too. Some idiot would implant
his in his pet or something.


Trivial to get it out of the pet and wave it at the machine.

Some of the Brit governmental activities emphasize
that there is no democracy here but just a monarchy
where those who ride that gravy train begrudgingly
empower the proles; examples being the tardy giving of
the vote to all males not just those owning property
and the very much later giving the vote to women.

Some things emphasize the them and us division between
the descendant spawn of the Norman Invaders and the
indigenous Brit populace, one being the RIPA whereby
those refusing to give their passwords to the plodderies
can be imprisoned.

Being as this is a D-I-Y group well distanced from MI5,
GCHQ and other dogs' messes, I wonder whether it would be
possible amongst ourselves to conceive of a system of
secure passwords and communications links whereby we
are not and can not be cognisant of the passwords and keys
such that we would be unable to revela them?
