One thing that particularly upsets me about #CCDP is that it’s a step towards a British #CALEA (HT #Netflix)
As my former colleague Dave Walker touched upon in a comment in this blog there is a massive question over who has to provide CCDP interception capability if you’re a British Communication Service Provider. Say you use the Amazon EC2 Cloud – the servers are all outside the UK: Ireland, US West/East/Central, South America, Far…

An extract from the Crypto Wars / ORG Wiki

HEADSUP: Scrambling For Safety Conference: London, Thursday 19th April (next week) #ccdp #privacy #security

Some thought this was an April Fool, but no: security minister James Brokenshire confirmed the next day that it was for real. This led to…
