https://youtu.be/NciVkd6ddPohttps://odysee.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Zimmermann:fIn the early 90s, Phil Zimmermann, the godfather of privacy, released a groundbreaking encryption program called Pretty Good Privacy, or PGP. This software allowed people to protect their email communications with robust encryption. The government then investigated Phil for 3 years, claiming that by spreading PGP around the world as free encryption software, he was engaging in munitions trafficking and jeopardizing U.S. national security.The battle goes down in history as the first Crypto Wars, against encryption, and it was waged by people all over the world who believed that privacy was a fundamental right.PGP became the most widely used email encryption software in the world. And thanks to his effort to make sure encryption tools remain available to the public, we now have the ability to protect our privacy.But once again we find ourselves in another crypto war, with governments around the globe once again trying to undermine privacy.I chat with Phil about why he created PGP, the current state of global surveillance, and why we must fight for the future of privacy.00:00 Governments Live in a Golden Age of Surveillance00:58 Phil Zimmerman Introduction02:34 Phil's Motivation for Creating PGP05:19 What's at Stake if Government Abolishes Privacy10:50 The Risk of Not Standing Our Ground14:04 Surviving in a World Where Government Policy is Anti-Privacy15:15 How to Create a Groundswell Movement16:14 Highlighting Shifting Baselines18:40 We Need to Obtain and Use Privacy Tools NOW19:43 Governments are Pressuring Companies20:18 Phil's Parting Words of Advice22:08 Policy vs ActionEverything that we do is surveilled and it's not clear that democracy can survive governments having this level of omniscience.

"It would be wrong to think of Cypherpunks as a formal group. It's more a gathering of those who share a predilection for codes, a passion for privacy, and the gumption to do something about it. Anyone who decides to spread personal crypto or its gospel is a traveler in the territory of Cypherpunk." — Steven Levy Today we journey back to 1993 to explore a seminal article on the cypherpunk movement and the battle for digital privacy. How have the concerns raised three decades ago evolved in our modern digital landscape? What progress has been made, and what challenges remain? Join us as we examine the roots of the crypto revolution and its implications for our future, asking: Are we any closer to achieving the cypherpunks' vision of a privacy-preserving and sovereign digital world?

Phil Zimmermann es un programador estadounidense que desarrolló el programa Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), un software de cifrado de correo electrónico que se ha convertido en una herramienta esencial para la privacidad y la seguridad en línea. En 1991, Zimmermann publicó el código fuente de PGP en un libro, lo que provocó una serie de controversias y consecuencias legales. Zimmermann comenzó a desarrollar PGP en 1989, mientras trabajaba como ingeniero en Lotus Development Corporation. El objetivo de PGP era proporcionar una forma sencilla de cifrar el correo electrónico para proteger la privacidad de los usuarios. Zimmermann publicó el código fuente de PGP en 1991 en un libro titulado "PGP: Pretty Good Privacy". El libro se distribuyó gratuitamente por Internet, lo que lo convirtió en un software muy accesible. La publicación del código fuente de PGP provocó una serie de controversias. El gobierno de los Estados Unidos acusó a Zimmermann de violar las leyes de exportación de software de cifrado. Zimmermann fue acusado de proporcionar software de cifrado a países hostiles, lo que podría poner en riesgo la seguridad nacional. Zimmermann se defendió argumentando que PGP era un software de uso general y que no estaba destinado a ser utilizado con fines maliciosos. El caso finalmente se resolvió en 1996, cuando el gobierno de los Estados Unidos se retractó de sus acusaciones. La publicación del código fuente de PGP tuvo un impacto significativo en la historia de la privacidad en línea. PGP hizo que el cifrado de correo electrónico fuera más accesible para el público general, lo que ayudó a promover la privacidad y la seguridad en línea. Conclusión: Phil Zimmermann es un pionero en el campo de la privacidad en línea. La publicación del código fuente de PGP fue un momento decisivo en la historia de la privacidad, ya que hizo que el cifrado de correo electrónico fuera más accesible para el público general. Algunos detalles adicionales: PGP es un software de cifrado asimétrico, lo que significa que utiliza dos claves para cifrar y descifrar los datos. Una clave es pública y se puede compartir con cualquiera, mientras que la otra clave es privada y se debe mantener en secreto. PGP se utiliza para cifrar una variedad de datos, incluidos correos electrónicos, archivos y mensajes instantáneos. PGP es un software de código abierto, lo que significa que su código fuente está disponible para que cualquiera lo examine y lo modifique.

What Really Happened in the Nineties?

Here we are in 2022 navigating cancel culture, Brexit, identity politics, war in Europe. How did we get here? Did we miss something? Robert Carlyle, who played the wildcard Begbie in the '90s hit Trainspotting, is here to show us that we did. That the world we live in was shaped by the forgotten decade: the 1990s. From Hong Kong to Moscow, Cool Britannia to No Frills flights, we travel back in time to key moments in the '90s that reverberate today in unexpected ways. Episode 5: Tech Robert Carlyle uncovers a conflict in the 90s that we may not have been aware of – the crypto-wars between the so-called cypherpunks and the United States government. The fight was over online privacy and it was won by a computer programme called Phil Zimmermann, who faced four years in jail for releasing software called Pretty Good Privacy. As Jamie Bartlett, the author of The Missing Cryptoqueen explains, if it wasn't for Phil, we wouldn't be able to communicate securely online today.

Today, we're surrounded by strong encryption. Thanks to efforts like Let's Encrypt, almost all web communications today at encrypted. And thanks to wonderful privacy communications tools like Signal, we can share private thoughts instantly and securely with anyone on the planet. But this was not always the case. This secure, private, encryption-enabled future we're living now was far from certain 30 years ago when Phil Zimmermann created and freely released his email encryption tool Pretty Good Privacy (PGP). If not for Phil and a handful of others, we could very easily have lost the Crypto Wars of the 1990's and authoritarian mass surveillance could have been the norm. In today's show, Phil and I walk through the creation of PGP, the technological and political climate of that day, and the nerve-racking few years where Phil faced potential jail time for releasing "munitions grade" encryption to the world. We'll also discuss the literally life-saving impacts PGP has had over these last 30 years and how global law enforcement agencies and liberal democratic governments have revived the Crypto Wars. Phil Zimmermann is the creator of Pretty Good Privacy, which is still widely regarded as the gold standard for secure email communication. Phil went on to form Silent Circle and win several prestigious awards including US Privacy Champion and was inducted into the Cybersecurity Hall of Fame.

Passwords suck and humans aren't good at using them. Password managers can help a lot, but to truly improve your account security these days, you need to add defense in depth. The easiest way to do that today is to enable two-factor authentication, or 2FA. Many websites have supported 2FA for years, but as hacking has gotten more aggressive and password databases are being stolen more often, the popularity of 2FA has grown significantly in the last year or two. Unfortunately, many 2FA systems rely on the lowest common denominator for implementing the PIN code system: SMS or text messaging. SMS is very old, but also very widely used and supported. It's never been terribly secure, but recently some clever security researchers have discovered a simple and cheap way to steal your text messages. Like, for $16. I'll explain this hack and tell you how and why you should switch to the much more secure Time-based one-time-password (TOTP) system for 2FA. In other news: I'll update you on the massive Microsoft Exchange hack; I'll cover a couple stories about Apple bowing to pressure from foreign powers; thousands of surveillance cameras hacked in major corporations, schools, hospitals and even jails; a clever technique to identify deepfake videos; two welcome new privacy features in Firefox; Amazon's take-it-or-leave-it driver surveillance demands; opting out of T-Mobile's new data grab; and Texas making hundreds of millions of dollars off their citizens' data.

The group consisted of some of the most prominent cryptographers including Phil Zimmermann, Adam Back, Nick Szabo and Hal Finney.  The cypherpunks had its factions; some focussed on privacy tools, others on encryption and some on building decentralised monetary systems. It was on the cypherpunk mailing list and during their meetups that the building blocks of Bitcoin were born.  On October 31st 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto emailed the cypherpunk mailing list, telling them "I've been working on a new electronic cash system that's fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party." In the 11 years that followed Bitcoin has proven to be the most successful attempt at creating a censorship-resistant and trust minimised digital currency. Each previous attempt at creating a form of digital money had solved parts of the puzzle, but Satoshi was able to put these pieces together along with his innovations to create Bitcoin. The previous attempts included: In the 1990's eCash, headed by David Chaum, attempted to make online payments anonymous. In 1997 Adam Back created HashCash, a proof-of-work system to reduce email spam and prevent denial of service attacks.  In 1998 Wei Dai proposed B-money to allow for an "anonymous, distributed electronic cash system".  Around the same time, Nick Szabo proposed Bit Gold where unforgettable proof of work chains would share properties of gold: scarce, valuable and trust minimised but with the benefit of being easily transactable.  In 2004 Hal Finney built upon the idea of Hashcash and created Reusable Proofs of Work.  When Satoshi released the Bitcoin whitepaper, rather than a revolution, Bitcoin was an evolution of all that had come before it with Bitcoin being the most trust minimised, censorship-resistant and hardest currency that has ever existed. In Part 3 of The Bitcoin Beginner's Guide, I talk to Aaron van Wirdum, a journalist and Technical Editor at Bitcoin Magazine. Aaron explains the cypherpunk movement and the digital money projects which paved the way for Bitcoin.

Phil Zimmermann criou a primeira versão da criptografia PGP em 1991. Ele era um ativista antinuclear de longa data e criou a criptografia PGP para que outras pessoas com as mesmas afinidades pudessem usar o BBSs para armazenar mensagens e arquivos com segurança. O software era open source e nosso amigo Zimmermann quase foi preso pelo governo. Belo teaser para o vídeo que será publicado em breve sobre o PGP, no qual falamos um pouco da história, explicamos como funciona e, principalmente, fizemos um tutorial pra você começar a usar esta ferramenta no seu dia a dia.

Phil Zimmermann fought a multi-year court battle and risked years in jail in order to defend your right to privacy. Phil created an email encryption system called Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) in 1991 that is still the gold standard for private email today. I sat down with Phil to discuss his legacy and why we are truly in the Golden Age of Surveillance, despite claims by law enforcement that all communications are “going dark”. Philip R. Zimmermann is the creator of Pretty Good Privacy, an email encryption software package. Originally designed as a human rights tool, PGP was published for free on the Internet in 1991. This made Zimmermann the target of a three-year criminal investigation, because the government held that US export restrictions for cryptographic software were violated when PGP spread worldwide. Despite the lack of funding, the lack of any paid staff, the lack of a company to stand behind it, and despite government persecution, PGP nonetheless became the most widely used email encryption software in the world. After the government dropped its case in early 1996, Zimmermann founded PGP Inc. That company was acquired by Network Associates Inc (NAI) in 1997. In 2002 PGP was acquired from NAI by a new company called PGP Corporation, where Zimmermann served as special advisor and consultant until its acquisition by Symantec in 2010. Since 2004, his focus has been on secure telephony for the Internet, developing the ZRTP protocol and creating products that use it, including Silent Phone and Zfone. Zimmermann is Co-founder of Silent Circle, a provider of secure communications services. For Further Insight: Website: https://www.philzimmermann.com/

The TTC team sits behind the microphone and reviews latest experiences, trends and social economic issues that have affected us and the technology scene at large. We start with eHealth and how our interviewees responded to the question on whether we need medical software certification; we talk about the social economic impact of robotics co-existing with humans; Phil Zimmermann’s interview on data security issues and privacy and the first pan-European cyber-security law to be enacted. So, do bare with our shortcomings and let us know your opinion and what we can improve. We will be travelling to different events in the coming months, interviewing stakeholders and hopefully reporting back, via our own podcast, on behind the scenes.

Privacy and security are important in the digital and data world and especially after Snowdens’ revelations. Phil Zimmermann, the creator of PGP and Zfone and currently the Co-Founder of Silent Circle is the most suitable person to talk about the privacy and security issues we face. How enterprises and their employees can protect their data including an average user. Social media and various devices make it really easy for people to reveal important information about their lives, without them realising it. As we are now entering the IoT era, security and privacy will be even more important as more devices will generate even more sensitive data.
