The CEO of Russia’s No. 1 anti-virus package has said that the internet’s biggest security vulnerability is anonymity, calling for mandatory internet passports that would work much like driver licenses do in the offline world.
In Kaspersky’s world, services such as Psiphon (http://psiphon.ca/) and The Onion Router (Tor) (https://www.torproject.org/) – which are legitimately used by Chinese dissidents and Google users alike to shield personally identifiable information – would no longer be legal. Or at least they’d have to be redesigned from the ground up to give police the ability to surveil them. That’s not the kind of world many law-abiding citizens would feel comfortable inhabiting.
