In this week's show we chat with The Grugq about the latest invisible.im announcement and we'll also meet the creator of the Ricochet anonymous messenger software, John Brooks.
In this week's sponsor interview we chat with Senetas CTO Julian Fay about an interesting paper on defeating traffic analysis attacks against encrypted cloud storage, and also a "sign of the times" Kickstarter... a group has managed to get a weird little crypto device funded... basically a hardware crypto module. You plug your phone in on one end and your headset in on the other. They've raised over $40k, but who's going to use this?
