SSL AboveTopSecret.com?

Due to type of information shared around here; wouldn't it be practical to encrypt our connection to ATS?

Dear Lord, how is it no one has thought of this till now? Kudos to you, Sir. I agree.

Do you realize the cost of this with all the pages that ATS has and creates each day?

Most of the info here is available on the net anyway, we just discuss it and weed out the chaff.

Don't be fooled by the sites name.

Yeah nothing on hear is “top secret” so most of the time encryption is not needed.

Saying that however, I do recall once having information about something that was “secret” and not in the public domain and not posting it just because ATS was not secure.

Your right. There is little that needs to be encrypted around here. However, there still are some material posted that would benefit from this. What about a special post function? Rather than the simple New Thread and New Post; we could have Secure New Thread and Secure New Post.

The only problem is making sure people only use the feature if it is needed.

The only problem with that is that everyone on ATS who believes they have the “proof” of whatever in reality does not. AS such this feature would be abused.

secure or encrypted data is only as secure as the people granted access to it - if you have a SSL secured ATS - who will you allow to read it ?

1 - all current members ?

2 - a selected list - if so who decides ??

3 - anyone - rather defeats the object

Not again

Why would anyone want to encrypt a TCP/IP packet when it appears on a publicly accessible internet forum?

What is the point in concealing the payload in transit when it appears for all to see when it arrives at the destination?

Everything useful has been kept from us and no one lets it out.
Only a brief scan of the internet can show that.
All the official words for more than the past 50 years and more kept secrets.

Basically you had to be there while the official word was being generated.
Like the Tesla space ships everyone wanted but couldn't have.
Where were we in the 1930s and no one to tell us now if the space ship had been built.
Did we know a famous Space Adventure writer died in the Titanic 1912.
Where did he get his ideas from.
Yeah he was a good friend of Mr. Tesla who has the most above top secrets
in the universe.
Keep on Tesla secret hunting.

If you are really that worried about your privacy you should not be on ATS lol. BUT I do have a solution (somewhat)

Katherine Albrecht was a guest on C2C just the other day and was talking about this:

startpage.com...

If you are worried about your privacy... look in to something like this =)

cheers!
