Actually that is pretty anonymous. Although I am sure that Skype would play ball with any bunch of goons that put forward a plausible justification, or threated to rip their fingernails off, most government agencies find it difficult to deal with anyone that they cannot casually have thrown in jail - dealing with equals is not part of their mindset. So if your threat model does not include the FBI and the CIA, chances are that the people who are threatening you will lack the organization and mindset to get Skype's cooperation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majord...@metzdowd.com
