About Jacob Appelbaum:

Good Questions:

• How can Internet anonymity be effective by thwarting network traffic analysis? How US Military, Cyber-dissidents and business executives can protect privacy and hide sensitive communications on the Internet?
• How a "cold boot attack" can be performed? Can encryption keys be retrieved from a turned off PC from data retained in RAMs?
