    A very interesting question on #CCDP and #CloudComputing (ie: "IaaS") is asked by @labeledsecurity : http://t.co/eJwNYPlX # Matthew D'Ancona in the Evening Standard on #CCDP http://t.co/b5PolINP subtext of fears that #LibDems activism may break coalition… # @Stephen_Curry Hard Drive encrypted?

    Dave posted a comment: A further angle I’d like to see a considered view on: as well as ISPs, will UK-based IaaS providers also be compelled to install and maintain lawful metadata intercept infrastructures in case a customer stands a mail or other messaging server up on one of their nodes? If so, how will…

  • I am surprised at the amount of #CCDP discussion I’m seeing mention “Logging #Skype calls”

    2012/04/03 22:16:36 BST

    I am beginning to wonder how much of Skype call metadata is available to the right kinds of authorities, especially now Microsoft is in charge? After all: if it’s properly encrypted and P2P it shouldn’t be DPI-able, right? Right? 🙂

  • The Home Secretary appeals to the The Sun to bail her out for #CCDP; but preaching to the wrong choir won’t help

    2012/04/03 21:09:11 BST

    I find this fascinating: David Cameron defends government proposals to monitor calls, emails, texts and websites visits, claiming that the move is necessary to stop crime and would not be a “snoopers’ charter”. It comes as the Sun newspaper published a letter from Home Secretary Teresa May, where she says similar monitoring techniques helped put…

    But the Home Office’s frankly strategic management of the news was effective enough to capture the headlines yesterday and now the Home Sec has finally waded in. She adopted the well-worn line that the interwebs is a dangerous place for kids because it isn’t just used by ordinary folk but also by horrible criminals and…
