This week has again brought properly frustration over the current Federal Government. First, this is a federal minister, who postulated in the Bundestag with indirect threat of prosecution of a libel, he had not at hundreds of sites intentionally depreciated . After three speed signs ignored in road transport is accused of intent! As the lawyers laugh almost dead . Does a
But now for the legislative Failure of the federal government:
On Friday, the De-mail has been adopted by law. Background is that you make the more effective and faster electronic transport documents for the Authority. For this to be used but in comparison to e-mail additional properties. First, the authorities are in post, for example, the tax notice or letter in connection with procedures for things in it that are subject to a separate, very high confidence in the secrecy. These are also subject by separate penalties that go on violating the privacy of correspondence. In the one case it is the secret tax in the other case, the Clients betrayal.
The adopted provides Suppose that the data is encrypted in transit. This means that the default software is configured so that encryption is enforced. This is possible with the known software. Despite this, however, is a gross misrepresentation of the people. The work is as if the post would be as follows:
take a sealed letter in the mail box. In the Post Office of the envelope is opened, then found where the letter is to point to him then to plug in a new envelope. The newly packaged letters are then sent to the destination post office. There they are again opened and stored in mailboxes. If the customer is then to the switch, then a new envelope packed and given to the customer. Of course the officials are sworn to secrecy, at least as long as officials do not ask others by the police for assistance.
this case, the confidentiality of the e-mail from being solved and deposited in international standards. Each half-way developed e-mail program, such Opera, Mozilla , Thunderbold , Outlook ..., can encrypt PKCS controlled. Encryption is thus still at the sender. There are always two key . A public and another to close down, secret to unlocking. Then the e-mail to all known system is transported to the first unpacked the recipient. Such is, as you know it from the regular correspondence. A description should not recognize the computer knowledgeable the sham. How should this situation even as a betrayal of clients can be limited?
This method has the disadvantage that the addressee must be certified by a notary his key. This costs, in a legally binding quality, always money, which is why very few people have a so-called Certificate. These costs are incurred each year, because these certificates must be renewed to prevent the acquired identities infinite Remain valid. But this effort is necessary to prevent so-called Pfishing. This effort would not driven could anyone have a wrong address, including key put into circulation. could prove The members of the Pirate Party on the first day of her appearance a fatal error in the singing nature of the new ID card software was down to just an attack. What then is the false written, can open the secret key to the reading, then, in order to stow it and then re-forwarded to the correct addressee.
Other techniques, such as OpenPGP as implemented in PGP have this problem found a different path. There the people to confirm their digital signature, who they know as well. These statements are collected. When you check an address and the corresponding public key, the chain is searched from acquaintances with the highest overall reliability has what for the small world theorem is almost always possible in 10 steps. This process has, since the individual confirm your friend for free, in contrast to PKCS5 also free of charge. The keys have to catch up to, and OpenPGP with 4096 bit Wikileaks-suited quality, and are therefore definitely fail.
The De-mail, the problem typically a Postident solved, but not prevented, the result is a gray market of dead or incapacitated persons.
Besides the fact, that's lying around the letters at the post office still open the question of the current period, the biggest problem of the legally binding service. When De-mail service providers to the sender to confirm receipt of the legally binding message so that the start time of a period of evidence can be determined with certainty.
The problem is that an electronic delivering of the letter itself does not create too the letter is also addressed to the note. Thus, for example, each time the power fails. In the subsequent Restart the file system is checked for inconsistencies and found inconsistencies are corrected. If a file is not stored completely on the hard disk, it can be gone without the user their existence has ever been noted.
Anyone who has not just yesterday concerned his first computer at Aldi knows, the hardware, especially hard drives, every now and then makes the bend. Even software can lead to total loss of data. In this respect, then there is the receiver with the knowledge that he has received a letter, without which he is writing. The De-mail provider can offer its customers a backup that probably most people in the absence of transaction-compatible operating systems would have to fall back. But then the maximum possible white private letter, as are the health insurance, the provider of the provider and carrier needs of the state investigations Sellen open longer than necessary.
If someone has only one computer, this may indeed sometimes the hardware support for a holiday. This can take in complicated cases such as randomly occurring errors, sometimes even longer. All terms and where it say that the user has to be de-mail subject to regular review, are therefore for people who have only one computer is not acceptable. to use the computer of another is not acceptable, because this computing machine, the data is has to decode, and few users will be able to ascertain that the data is then no longer be copied. In addition, if the access is via a password and not authorized by a hardware, get also the exclusive access of the user into the wrong hands.
We had the same problem of the Pirate Party. The charges to the party conventions have to be legally served. On the other side we do not squander € 6,600 for shipping the cargo. The solution of the problem: The invitations will be distributed by ordinary e-mail. can in the e-mail is a link included with the quote of the recipient to receive. If this receipt not, after 3 days ordinary letter, registered letter or whatever is needed shipped. Together with PSE is the regular e-mail all there, what is the delivery of postal authorities need exists.
time that a German special path in the global Internet apart before a laughing stock. If you want to continue to develop even a service anyway, then you should have put on file a RFC and, and after its adoption, it must adopt a suitable German law. In De-Mail Law provided for international expansion opportunity is once again a really nasty example of "The German approach to the world"
