People are worried about privacy, and its one of the reasons people are using a service like SnapChat.
I'm a strong believer in strong encryption.
Protecting yourself is very challenging in the hostile environment of the Internet. Imagine a global environment where an unscrupulous person from the other side of the planet can probe your computer for weaknesses and exploit them to gain access to your most sensitive secrets.
Prior to email, our private correspondence was secured by a government institution called the postal service. Today, we trust AOL, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, or Gmail with our private utterances.
The only truly secure system is one that is powered off, cast in a block of concrete and sealed in a lead-lined room with armed guards -- and even then I have my doubts.
Think Apple, think the FBI. We are living 'Atlas Shrugged.' Why is it so important? Because I would hate for the country to have that rhetorical question: Where is John Galt, who is John Galt? John Galt is all of us.
Under the cover of encryption, terror masterminds provide recruits with the tactics and tools necessary to carry out attacks using small arms and explosives. None of this requires any overseas travel.
Efforts to constrain encryption through forms of extraordinary access will inevitably introduce vulnerabilities into the security of consumer products in ways that are likely to have adverse long-term effects on the security, privacy, and civil liberties of citizens.
As a young boy, I was taught in high school that hacking was cool.
It is clear to me that creating a pathway for decryption only for good guys is technologically stupid. You just can't do that.
When a hacker gains access to any corporate data, the value of that data depends on which server, or sometimes a single person's computer, that the hacker gains access to.
What I said was, the NSA does not voyeuristically pore through U.S. citizens' e-mails. I stand by that.
The spread of strong consumer encryption technology around the globe is inevitable;
ISIS' key social media-encrypted platform is Telegram, which is engineered by a Berlin-based tech company that can simply ignore the rulings of American federal judges as well as legislation passed by the U.S. Congress.
As we work to secure our data and communications from hackers, we must recognize that our citizens face a far broader array of threats.
Data leaks are impossible to reverse, so the best strategy is to prevent intruders from having prolonged, unfettered access to the systems in the first place.
Treat your password like your toothbrush. Don't let anybody else use it, and get a new one every six months.
There are two kinds of cryptography in this world: cryptography that will stop your kid sister from reading your files, and cryptography that will stop major governments from reading your files.
No computer or smartphone can ever be considered 100 percent 'safe.' We're all engaged in a perpetual battle with criminals and hostile governments trying to use computers and the Internet to steal information and identities.
The first thing that we wanted to make clear is that nobody has to trust anybody. We don't take people's trust for Telegram for granted.
Looking back, there hasn't been a single day in WhatsApp's 10 year journey when this service was secure.
As we put autonomous cars on the road, connect Alexas to our lights and our thermostats, put ill-protected Internet-connected video cameras on our houses, and conduct our financial lives over our cell phones, our vulnerabilities expand exponentially.
It is insufficient to protect ourselves with laws; we need to protect ourselves with mathematics.
If you go to a coffee shop or at the airport, and you're using open wireless, I would use a VPN service that you could subscribe for 10 bucks a month. Everything is encrypted in an encryption tunnel, so a hacker cannot tamper with your connection.
Man, I don't want to have nothing to do with computers. I don't want the government in my business.
