[liberationtech] Cryptography super-group creates unbreakable encryption

An entire article's worth of lip service?

“I’m agnostic about this,” he says, “I don’t really care if Silent Circle
captures this market, just as long as somebody does.”


I spent the entire interview with the Verge writer complaining about the
crappy security delivered by the wireless carriers, which, I think, is
entirely accurate, and consistent with my other efforts to shine light upon
the carriers' awful security.
See this in-depth today's Washington Post, for example:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/android-phones-vulnerable-to-hackers/2013/02/01/f3248922-6723-11e2-9e1b-07db1d2ccd5b_print.html

It is clear that you seem to have developed a foaming-in-the-mouth,
irrational hate of Silent Circle. As such, anyone who fails to denounce
Phil Zimmermann as the great Satan is, in your eyes, some kind of corrupt
shill.

I proudly stand by every single statement quoted in that Verge story.

Chris
