Lavabit SSL Cert Revoked
Lavabit has revealed something incredibly important.The US Government has no problem with seizing your private keys. It claims the right to impersonate you without your permission.It no longer matters which system you use, Sovereign Keys, PGP web-of-trust, traditional PKI, they're all the same. Services based in the US can be MITM'd without leaving any traces.If this is allowed to continue uncontested there will no be no way to stay secure online. The only solution is a partial solution, to create decentralized services. This, at least, will require the government to seize the private keys of each individual they want to track.
