The first rule of security is: you do not invent security protocols.
The second rule of security is: you do not invent security protocols!
The third rule of security is: if this is your first time with security you do not invent security protocols.
Inventing, modifying, tweaking, hacking, extending, optimizing, or just about anything else you can do to a cryptographic protocol, hash, algorithm, PRNG, key agreement, or cryptographic technique is a very bad idea.

Part of the puropse of this site is to provide archival quality answers. This means that refering to Google or any search site is not very helpful. When an author responds to my comments by improving their answer I usually up-vote them. |

How safe is WSIT username authentication with symmetric key? How secure usually depends on who your threats are. Who do you expect to try to break it and what are their motives (profit, fun, etc..)? |

Is Google spying on all of us? @mark-c-wallace Oh you must be right, since Google is in America only American standards of competence to contract matter. I'm relieved you are so well versed in international legal matters. |

Is Google spying on all of us? @xavierm02 Here is my logic explicitly. Mark's answer says that Google offers free service as long as a user accepts a contract with Google (Terms of Service). There is a trade of the user's information for the service Google provides. In order for the transaction to be valid the user must agree to give their information to Google. The problem is that the vast majority of users do not understand this agreement and are not giving consent. They have the mistaken idea that they are receiving free service. Additionally those users are not able to "control the information that google obtains". |

Is Google spying on all of us? @mark-c-wallace They are however relevent to the substance of your answer, especially the last one. You need evidence to support your argument. Please see cyber.law.harvard.edu/stjohns/Specht_v_Netscape.pdf for a case where Terms of Service was judged to be non-binding. |

Is Google spying on all of us? What percentage of users read the Terms of Service? Even when users do read the ToS do they really understand what it means? Do average users know how to configure their browsers to "control the information that google obtains about you"? |
