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.

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.

Carsten Stocker, founder and CEO of Spherity, which is building a blockchain and cloud based identity solution. We talk about a variety of blockchain ecosystems related to self-sovereign identity and concepts like the digital twin. Spherity was founded in November 2017 and employs currently 12 people. His company is based in Berlin, Germany and were recently part of a government sponsored hackathon where they built a solution called E-receipt to digitally prove a patient’s identity when getting a prescription.

Health Unchained New Corner On April 10, Google and Apple announced a joint effort to use Bluetooth technology to help governments and health agencies reduce the spread of the virus, with user privacy and security central to the design. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/04/apple-and-google-partner-on-covid-19-contact-tracing-technology/ Singapore has already developed an app called TraceTogether that also uses Bluetooth to detect possible contact with an infected person. Although Singapore claims that Tracetogether data older than 21 days will automatically be deleted, many critics argue that this type of data collection is only increasing the level of government surveillance. TraceTogether is developed by the Ministry of Health and Government Technology Agency (GovTech), in support of SGUnited. https://www.tracetogether.gov.sg/ SafeTrace: Privacy-Preserving Contact Tracing for COVID-19 (https://blog.enigma.co/safetrace-privacy-preserving-contact-tracing-for-covid-19-c5ae8e1afa93) Health Unchained Links Website: https://healthunchained.org Telegram: t.me/healthunchained Twitter: twitter.com/Healthunchaind Bert’s Blockchain and Healthcare Weekly Newsletter: https://bert.substack.com/

The Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption tool became freely available in 1991, drastically improving data security. It also stirred the ire of US government folks who could not surveil on the encrypted data. Dr. Philip Zimmermann, PGP creator, was then made target of a 3-year criminal investigation, while PGP became the most widely used email encryption software in the world. Worldwide attempts to compel tech companies to create weakened encryption has continued to increase in the name of safety. How does weakened security tech degrade the privacy of the population? Do terrorists & crooks use those weakened encryption tools? What are more effective ways of accessing communications of criminals & terrorists? How does weak encryption support surveillance worldwide? How is VoIP privacy impacted? What are some strong encryption tools available to consumers? What can support government adoption of strong encryption? Rebecca discusses these & related issues with Dr. Philip Zimmermann.
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/
