This makes me wonder how ethical it is for the NSA to be so heavily involved in cryptography internationally. Are they building a backdoor into these crytographic systems? If so, how ethical could that be?

This resource provides access to articles, news, and blog posts regarding military embedded systems, often using cryptography. One article referenced the cryptography used to secure "Data at Rest" and the length at which this information should be held secure. Is it ethical to keep this information from the public when safety is no longer a concern? At what point should these well-kept secrets become accessible?

This article, though very clearly biased, describes the ways in which the movements of citizens are being tracked by both technology and the police. The video/information slides are obviously carried out with bias, but the information is still there. The end of the article has some interesting (helpful?) information about what the judicial system is ruling on cases involving location tracking without warrants.

This video talks about a hack done by a group of Russian hackers that gained access to 1.2 billion records, and discusses the idea that perhaps passwords are no longer the best way to protect our information. It's a quick video, but what was interesting to me was that I hadn't even considered that something other than the current password system could protect our information.

coffee DRM fywscrypto

shared by Derek Bruff on 29 Aug 14 - No Cached

Derek Bruff on 29 Aug 14

I think we can count this as cryptography. Keurig (the "K-cup" coffee maker) recently rolled out a new coffee maker that only works on coffee pods with special ink markers on their foil tops, meaning that knock-off coffee pods won't work on the new Keurig systems. (More info here: http://www.theverge.com/2014/6/30/5857030/keurig-digital-rights-management-coffee-pod-pirates.) This DRM-like scheme has now been hacked by competitors.
