Simson Garfinkel on Spooky Cryptographic Action at a Distance

A short blog post references Simson Garfinkel’s concept of “spooky action at a distance” applied to public-key cryptography, arguing that a cloud server’s security is effectively entangled with the administrator’s private key stored elsewhere. By deleting the local private key, the remote server’s risk is reduced without changing the server, underscoring the importance of key management rather than detailing any specific cyber incident.
