Speaking of encryption

2 comments

Our hero Benjamin FranklinNetwork World is posting a timely article (“Stolen laptop teaches Stanford a lesson on encryption”) complimenting our recent encryption discussion. With this incident, on top of the University of Florida blunder that personally affected Fred, we must continue to ask ourselves — when will people embrace encryption?

When our nation’s respected educational institutions subject sensitive data to the public,  it’s time for the public to educate the educators. Sure, encryption is not the end all, god save the queen solution for protecting ourselves. But, encryption is a great tool and can provide a strong foundation for additional security measures.

The time for excuses is over. After all, our hero Benjamin Franklin used to say, “He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.“
