Review title: Fatally flawed
Product review: I had recently read The DaVinci Code and it was mildly entertaining but not as great as my friends had led me to believe. This book is totally flawed from a technological point of view. Nearly every detail, not just of cryptography but of software and hardware in general is wrong. The total misrepresentation of public key encryption should have been a tipoff early on, but I doggedly read on. But getting the technology wrong was the less egregious offense in this book. The biggest problem I found here was the attitude that government should have the legimate power to invade citizens' privacy in order to protect them. Further, the denigration of the Electronic Freedom Foundation was in pretty poor taste. If I could have given this book negative stars, I would have...it really is that bad.
