Email Encryption, GPG and Government Transparency
The hosts question why high-level government officials do not use standard GPG encryption for their communications. They speculate that the government avoids encryption to prevent the public from adopting tools that the FBI cannot easily bypass via backdoors.
The hosts discuss the vulnerability of modern VoIP services and the difficulties of managing GPG encryption keys, noting that fake keys can be used to intercept messages. They reference a leaked email exchange between attorney Jesslyn Raddick and journalist Glenn Greenwald regarding a potential appearance by Edward Snowden. The conversation touches on the technical hurdles that make secure communication difficult for the average user.
