[AusNOG] CA Data Retention costs letter to Ministers

[Mark Dignam]

Peering into my crystal ball…. 

 

I believe that “licensing” of VPN’s with keys/passphrases being stored by a government agency is not that far down the track.

 

Basicly, if your sending encrypted data or using an “unlicensed” VPN, you must be upto no good. 

 

I really hope I’m wrong……

Exactly. And since when a government changes, the security agencies don't, they can scare any and every potential leader into 'what could be'.

 

Personally, I think they know the meta data collection will be useless...

 

This is just the first phase of their plans... I am wondering what they've got planned next.  Will they follow the UK in trying to ban encryption and VPN's?
