        <description><![CDATA[&quot;Right before you erase the drive and restore the OS is the best time to explore and experiment.&quot;There's definitely some truth there.  Also, the best time to think about security is usually just before you wipe and reinstall -- because waiting any longer means you'll miss something, and find yourself staring at the computer thinking &quot;I really wish I'd done $foo, but I didn't think of it until it was too late,&quot; where $foo can be a particular drive encryption scheme, an airtight (mostly) integrity verification scheme, or any of a hundred or so other measures that might be appropriate to your security needs.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[How is it that what you say is not encrypted?Is security not a sensitive matter? Are the intricacies -- secrets of the war plan -- not deserving of privacy?In the link to your piece about privacy being security, how do you explain or juggle your publicity of that privacy?There is a war, I grant you. But privacy, save for an uncommunicated plan between your own ears, is out the window and abroad the moment you share it. It is public.Save again for the adage about two sharing a secret if one is dead, what are you managing?Certainly not privacy.Am I unclear about your concept?Are you, are we not all, dealing with a key term that misleads?Privacy?Apologizing ahead of time, having not addressed your forte, I am...]]></description>
