Comment What we need to overcome this (Score 1) 426

To neutralise this invasion of privacy, we need someone to write an encryption program that will place two or more different files (or messages) in a single encrypted document - with two different passwords. Enter one password, the first file comes out; Enter the other password, the second file is returned. But at no time should the decryption program reveal just how many files are encrypted.

To preserve plausible deniability, if one only stores one file in the encrypted file then the program should encrypt random characters of a similar length to the file with a very long, random password. (or some similar means of obfuscation).

Canadian Border Tightens Due to Info Sharing 448

blu3 b0y writes "The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that new information sharing agreements have made it as easy for a Canadian border officer to know the full criminal records of US citizens as it is for their local police. As a result, Canadian officials are turning away American visitors for ancient minor convictions, including 30-year-old shoplifting and minor drug possession convictions. Officials claim it's always been illegal to enter Canada with such convictions without getting special dispensation, they just had no good way of knowing about them until recent security agreements allowed access. One attorney speculates it's not long before this information will be shared with other countries as well, causing immigration hassles worldwide."
