Thanks for explaining basic cryptography, HNM, but that was not really my point. Of course there are ways which can provide some security in specific communications between 2 people that are security aware and capable. Which by the way is why all this data retention and internet censorship is bloody useless when it comes to the issues the lawmakers pretend to be the reason for installing them (child pr0n, terrorism, criminal activities, hackers,...) because these people are the ones that are most likely to soon figure out a way to get around these restrictions. But the issue is that most traffic is unsecure and that this , if used properly , can tell someone very valuable personal information about almost all people.

"Humans are storytellers. These stories then can become our reality. Only when we loose ourselves in the stories they have the power to control us. Our culture got lost in the wrong story, a story of death and defeat, of opression and control, of separation and competition. We need a new story!"
