22:8 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.
22:9 Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
22:10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.
22:11 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.
22:12 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: 22:13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

#4Sadly, TextSecure and RedPhone are distributed on the Google Play platform, so, if you don't want to tie a Google account to your phone or use Android without the proprietary Google applications, you're out of luck. (They are not included in the free and open source f-droid repository due to disagreements with the author.)

#6It is still on the HN new feed, if folks want to discuss technical details, but the reason I want to mention it here too is that key management is very hard in a case of resisting surveillance. The current PKI ideas place too much trust in third party certificate authorities (meaning the government can easily pull off man in the middle attacks with the help of network providers if they want, even without your keys), and because each negotiation occurs without context of past ones, there is no way to detect such behavior other than "the CA said watch out" or "this certificate isn't even plausible." Of course you can solve these by enforcing that everyone on your network uses th same local CA that you control but that breaks as soon as you want to talk to someone outside.
Building a PKI that can resist such efforts is not trivial and it involves challenging our assumptions. Until we do so however, we will run into all kinds of problem. I may be being paranoid, but it seems like this is a good time to be paranoid.
One of the things that SSH gets right is that it takes a diachronic approach to key validation. We should be building this in everywhere and alerting on key changes, while providing a way to ensure that keys can be safely and securely changed without having errors.

#8I think the best apps are yet to be written. I recently wrote a blog post ( http://ledgersmbdev.blogspot.com/2013/06/tangent-design-thou... ) outlining ways I thought the SSL PKI could be tweaked to make it quite resistant to this sort of eavesdropping. It is still on the HN new feed, if folks want to discuss technical details, but the reason I want to mention it here too is that key management is very hard in a case…
