A Quick, Simple Guide to Tor and the Internet of Things (So Far)
The great danger with the „Internet of Things“ (or IoT) is the opportunity for surveillance–for an individual hacker or a state actor to accumulate, store, and exploit very private information against individuals or companies.
These attacks are far from hypothetical: We‘ve read about the ability for an attacker to see and speak to a baby through a babycam or hack and control a car. Attackers stole 40 million credit card numbers after they hacked into a national retailer‘s HVAC system and used it to reach their computer system and their customers.
Tor has developed a way to build a buffer of privacy between the baby and the Internet–so that the baby (or the HVAC system) is never exposed to the open Internet at all. Instead of a hackable, single point of failure, attackers must contend with the global network of thousands of Tor nodes.

Merkel beendet NSA-Skandal: „Grundrechte sind umfassend gewahrt“
Merkel kündigte an, dass es an Bundesinnenminister de Maizière liege, weitere Gesetzesvorschläge zu erarbeiten. Allerdings solle „schnellstmöglich“ eine Behörde zur Entschlüsselung geschaffen werden.
Damit ist „Zitis“ gemeint, die Zentrale Stelle für Informationstechnik im Sicherheitsbereich. Viel wissen wir über die neue Abteilung nicht. Bekannt ist: Zitis soll als Dienstleister für Bundespolizei, Verfassungsschutz und Bundeskriminalamt fungieren und Internetkommunikation entschlüsseln. Die Behörde soll nicht selber abhören, sondern die zur Entschlüsselung notwendigen Technologien entwickeln oder von Firmen kaufen.

Democratic Convention Day 3 Takeaways: America First
In seeking to capture his ideals, Mr. Trump has embraced the slogan “America First.” An echo of Charles Lindbergh and Pat Buchanan, the phrase evokes an old-fashioned American nationalism — tinged with nativism, a suspicion of outsiders and a retreat from foreign entanglements. The third night of Mrs. Clinton’s Democratic National Convention, heavy on national security themes, could have been titled “America First in the World.” Democrats celebrated the country’s diversity, with Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, the vice-presidential nominee, ladling on the Spanish. Prominent Democratic hawks, including Leon Panetta, a former C.I.A. director and secretary of defense, made the case for internationalism and multilateral engagement, harking back to the Cold War tradition.
Trump leading Hillary by largest margin yet in latest poll

‘I am your voice!’: Trump vows to put ‚America first’ in RNC nomination acceptance speech
(22.7.2016) “Iran is on the path to nuclear weapons,” Trump went on, “Syria is engulfed in a civil war and a refugee crisis that now threatens the West. After fifteen years of wars in the Middle East, after trillions of dollars spent and thousands of lives lost, the situation is worse than it has ever been before. This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction and weakness.”
Trump followed up by pivoting to his own plan to “put America first.”
“Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo. As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America First, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect. This will all change in 2017.”
