Denne kritik rammer hovedparten af alle cloud-relaterede og offentlige services.

   CryptoCat is one of a whole class of applications that rely on
   what's called "host-based security". The most famous tool in this
   group is Hushmail, an encrypted e-mail service that takes the
   same approach. Unfortunately, these tools are subject to a well-
   known attack. I'll detail it below, but the short version is if
   you use one of these applications, your security depends entirely
   the security of the host. This means that in practice, CryptoCat
   is no more secure than Yahoo chat, and Hushmail is no more secure
   than Gmail. More generally, your security in a host-based
   encryption system is no better than having no crypto at all.

Repeat

"More generally, your security in a host-based  encryption system is no better than having no crypto at all."

Cloud security er ikke bare dårlig security - det er negativ security, fordi risikoen koncentreres

Stop undermineringen af samfundets helt basale funktioner af hensyn til ikke-legitime kontrol- og profitinteresser. Dette er en langt større trussel end EURO.
