So recently in the US there ave been protests against economic inequality and other similar (mainly socialist) causes.
If these protests get to be violent or pose a security threat, the U.S. or local cities might declare martial law. They might also start analyzing civilian communications (if they haven't been already).
So what do you guys think would be the best algorithm to use for email/IM/other forms of communication?
Fb and Google use RC4_128, SHA1_128 and sometimes RSA_128 for standard communications; all of which have been known to be attacked successfully with sufficient computing power (a gaming computer or two)
of course a subpoena changes everything
should we just stop using Fb and use a forum (better yet, a forum in a secure place like the tor network)
