I'm watching this right now, it's brilliant! This is exactly the kind of stuff I love to think about, but PHK has done a wonderful job thinking it out to a lot of detail. I suggest everyone drop what you're doing and watch it asap. It's exciting and really holds your interest.

I did watch, thanks, but anyone in a hurry can get just the slides here: http://phk.freebsd.dk/_downloads/FOSDEM_2014.pdf

I particularly appreciated the "QUEEN success example: SSC" (self-signed certificates, starts at slide 23), which also got a good laugh from the audience ...

(if you're just watching the video, this is the text of the second slide in the PDF, not shown at FOSDEM:

""" What is this ?

This is a ficticious NSA briefing I gave as the closing keynote at FOSDEM 2014

The intent was to make people laugh and think, but I challenge anybody to prove it untrue.

Playlist spoiler:

Electric Light ORCHESTRA: Confusion

ABBA: Money, Money, Money

Backman Turner OVERDRIVE: Taking Care Of Business

QUEEN: Bicycle Race

Beastie BOYS: Sabotage

PASADENA Roof Orchestra: Pennies From Heaven """ )
