Don't blame me that FF is the wrong forum to discuss! But the form of collaboration for crypto issues is a problem. In LE we face the implementation of crypto which is different from advanced research in crypto.
Here nobody knows which readers or members are real, faked of avatar-based. In clear on FF crime and enforcement meets. Thats reality.
But is there another platform for collaboration in crypto? Scientists and researchers in this area hide from public. But in LE crypto gets problematic more and more, so a good reason to think about collaboration in a walled garden?
What do you think about crypto collaboration in LE? What is the appropriate platform? No interest to feed the NSA, understand?
Can FF setup a brandnew protected zone with advanced security approvals to be able to access the walled garden?
Should that be possible, what makes you think that you will be given a key to that walled garden? roll
Or, if you prefer wink , who actually would be responsible for "verifying credentials" and "providing access" to it?
Anyway PM Jamey for this kind of questions.
