Re: [Phys-L] real-world physics : electronic privacy requires physics, not just algorithms



I heard of a wonderful book titled "One Million Random Numbers Arranged in
Ascending Sequence".

P.S. On the common notion that "you have nothing to worry about if you've
done nothing wrong", the flaw is that totalitarian governments often
retrospectively define what had been innocent behavior as heinous. You
don't get to specify the criteria for what is innocent or not -- someone
else does the specifying. For example, just being a Jew came to be treated
in the thirties as a capital crime, as was being educated during the
rampage of the Red Guards, or having contacts with westerners during
Stalin's reign.
