[Year 12 IT Apps] Protecting your customers data from Australia Post

[Roland Gesthuizen]

I hear that some postcards are actually delivered in plain text with absolutely no encryption. Talk about blind faith!

If you turn the letter around and hold it up to the light, it would not be far fetched to reconstruct most of the path that the packet took to get to you and even make a good stab at the identity of the sender and their posting origin. Kids reckon I could even make a near perfect copy of biometric information embedded in the security seal, I don’t think we have that technology licked yet.

Regards Roland
