Petraeus scandal - what would have been a better way to communicate electronically I have no idea what your talking about. My point was that the head of the CIA and an extremely well-credentialed intelligence expert chose NOT to use pgp. Communicating within NSA has nothing to do with it. In the case of the Jill Kelley character, the FBI became involved because of the knowledge of comings and goings of generals by a random person (ie a potentially nationally-significant disaster). You seem to be arguing my side but I can't really tell. Oh well, lets just let it be. |

Petraeus scandal - what would have been a better way to communicate electronically honestly, I'd be hard pressed to find anybody amongst my friends who wouldn't know what I was talking about. It's fine to close it - it's your choice. |

Petraeus scandal - what would have been a better way to communicate electronically odd this is argued as not a real question when this is considered a real question: security.stackexchange.com/questions/24048/… |

Petraeus scandal - what would have been a better way to communicate electronically thx tylerl, to best of my knowledge, he didn't use standard unencrypted webmail; they used gmail effectively as shared storage. She did use unencrypted email from the SAME account thus leading to the messages in the drafts folder. Clearly, she wasn't a standard biographer based upon her background in terms of information security. I was speculating about pgp and NSA - to be honest but I do find it interesting. Granted, there was an affair involved. |

Petraeus scandal - what would have been a better way to communicate electronically right, I updated the question. They clearly knew that standard secure email wasn't secure. Agreed that some ssh based sol'n might do the trick for person-person communication but might be other issues esp if secured email is used in conjunction with non-standard. Perhaps, the fact that these two people (one of whom obviously had the highest security clearance) used this strategy tells us something about the security of pgp. |

Petraeus scandal - what would have been a better way to communicate electronically thx - the bad guys have definitely watched The Wire so not any secrets going out. I'm tending to think this is the closest to an answer but would really like a computer based sol'n (hardware by itself would be incriminating). I'd say your last point is not excessively paranoid; I wouldn't be surprised if it weren't sufficient. |

Petraeus scandal - what would have been a better way to communicate electronically if you think it's a current events question, then I guess you don't understand. |

Petraeus scandal - what would have been a better way to communicate electronically thx, it seems like the real breakdown was using an email account for a shared communication path for saving messages in the drafts folder. Her use of it for sending emails from that account was the downfall. What they needed was something like that, that didn't have the way to send out. Dropbox might be suspicious due to being on a specific port. |

HTTPS vs. HTTP - Is there a security reason for HTTPS for a site that only does Facebook login? I agree with the general point. Honestly, hesitant to make this jump due to time / testing contraints. Have to think through this a little bit more. Do https and Varnish work well together? |

Encrypting email for gmail agreed - suffers from the reset password attack. Only as secure as email which we said before is insecure |

Encrypting email for gmail I wouldn't assume that gmail - to - gmail doesn't involve public internet. It shouldn't but it could |
