Still gotta be careful to avoid shells

Long walks on the beach aren't just fun, they'll give you the strongest passwords, too.

Purse snatcher are going to have trouble with this one


Watch on YouTube

Now, I'm sure the design of this purse wasn't intended to provide an anti-theft benefit, but I'm also sure the benefit is there. It would probably be easier to snatch the entire person than to try and get just the purse.

When I think about logging in I touch myself

from here and here (image source)

I think this article of clothing would pair well with the keyboard pants from several years ago (I can't believe I never made a meme out of it).

It smells like privacy!

from here and here (image source)

If the smell of napalm in the morning smells like victory then it stands to reason that the smell of end to end encryption must smell like privacy.

In terms of authentication, keys have traditionally represented tokens or "something you know", while body parts are usually consider to fall under the heading of "something you are" such as biometrics, but what happens when you combine the two? If it's attached to you is it really still just something you have? And biometrics aren't strictly about your biological components. If you have a prosthetic nose, do you think face recognition isn't going to use it? Of course it will.

Sometimes you want more than just 2 step verification

I suppose the passwords may have a lot of repetition in them if you're travelling on a perfectly smooth surface, so find somewhere bumpy to run to add extra randomness to them.

Encryption dress

Product Page

Who doesn't want to wear AES ciphertext on their dress? I just wonder what it says. I suppose one may have to remind cryptographers that your eyes are up here, since I'm sure some of them will be trying to decode the message.

Think Before You Click shirt

It's always good to remind people to be careful where they click. The bad guys are always looking for new ways to trick people into installing malware.

Security doggo has got his eye on you

found on Reddit

This looks like the kind of good boy that can keep you safe and secure. Critical eyes, ears at the alert, patiently waiting until something requires his expert attention. And with that shirt on, when people break in they'll know he means business.

But does it have pockets?

found on Izismile

This is apparently not authentic medieval armour, which I suppose increases the possibility that it may have pockets. It looks pretty cool, regardless.

Do you have the credentials to pull off this look?

from here and here (image source)

I bet the password is in one of those pockets. No one remembers strong passwords, although maybe with this one it takes the form of some dance, like the Macarena or something.

Lock and lobe

from here and here (image source)

I suppose this could still be taken by force, but it'll be messy and it would still have that annoying lock attached.

Bracelet Flask

Product Page

I think this is a pretty cool idea for hiding a private stash of booze, but part of me can't help but wonder - how many can you wear before it stops being discreet?

Your Password Was Too Short t-shirt

Product Page

That's an interesting threat. If you don't fix your terrible password, I'll do it for you. This shirt will make people think you already did, and so give a sense of urgency.

Just tell people you're entering the Miss America Online pageant

When I see things like this I can't help but think that women should be much better smugglers than men. I can't imagine a guy pulling off something like this.

Bloody Cleaver Purse

This might make the purse snatchers keep their distance this Halloween.

RFID rings

Product Page

RFID implants can open doors and unlock devices, and unlike a key card they don't need to be carried around, can't get lost or forgotten, and are generally just more convenient.

Some people are OK with getting chipped like livestock, or a pet, or inventory in a warehouse). Others might balk at the idea, since it's traditionally used for things that don't have agency or autonomy - and if it's associated with your job then having a symbol of your employer invading your body may be troubling. There's also the matter of it's relative permanence not being able to reflect your changing wishes (not unlike the problems with recording sexual consent on the blockchain).

Well, it just so happens there's a way to get similar convenience in a more socially acceptable package. There are many different varieties and styles from many different manufacturers (the above is just an example from the folks at Adafruit), and they are far more removable than anything embedded inside your body.

Because that wouldn't stand out at all

from here (source article)

It does seem a little weird to see camouflage embraced as a trend with zero regard for what it's actually meant for. It's one thing to apply a  security measure mindlessly, but it's something else to apply a security measure without even thinking about security.

I wonder what the bouquet would look like.

Talk about dressed to kill

from here (image source)

On the one hand it doesn't look physically comfortable, but on the other hand some people just aren't emotionally comfortable without weapons to protect themselves with.

Lock Pick Earrings (merchandise)

available on Tindie

I saw these a while ago, but the links I found at the time all seemed to lead back to an Etsy page that no longer existed. I've now found another site where they can apparently be purchased, so if you're interested in these, check out Safadancer's Tindie page.
