The Future And You--April 27, 2016
Timothy Baughman
(professional Network Security Analyst & Master of Information
Security) is our featured guest.
Topics: if quantum
computers become publicly available, and are as powerful as we are
told they will be, all of everyone's past encrypted secrets will be
revealed to anyone who wishes to read them--emails, banking
transactions, Silk
Road purchases, the entire Darknet, and any money
laundering hidden within the bitcoin blockchain.
Future encryptions will be secure (at least for a while) but every
previously encrypted file and document that is findable on the
Internet will be laid bare. If you have ever done something that
you shouldn't, and you are counting on encryption to keep your
secret forever, you need to think again.
Also, accuracy of the
computer hacking on the TV show Mr.
Robot; methods hackers use to get your password; how little
protection is provided by a fully encrypted hard drive; and why the
hardest part of the computer security profession is "securing
the human."
Also,
the browser named Opera has announced that it will include VPN
(virtual private network) as a default feature, and so your
host speculates that this may soon prompt ALL browsers to include
VPN.
Hosted by Stephen Euin Cobb, this is the April 27, 2016 episode
of The Future And You. [Running time: 35 minutes]

Cobb has interviewed over 350 people for his work

today. He is an artist, essayist, game designer,
transhumanist, and is on the Advisory Board of The Lifeboat
Foundation. Stephen is the author of an ebook about the future
