Was Edward Snowden watching TV in Moscow at about 4:30 on Thursday afternoon there, when the Oscars folks announced that Citizenfour, the film about him and journalist Glenn Greenwald, was a nominee for best feature documentary?
If the film wins an Oscar next month, Snowden, facing felony charges in the U.S., can't be expected to be celebrating in L.A. with the filmmaker, Laura Poitras.
The film is a gripping, edge-of-the-seat, real-time tick-tock about Snowden a whistle-blowing hero or an unpatriotic spiller of sensitive secrets, depending on your P.O.V., as they say in moviemaking and the stories his revelations created.
We see him in a Hong Kong hotel room, sharing his trove of National Security Agency documents with Poitras, Greenwald and Ewan MacAskill, another journalist. We see Snowden besieged by reporters when he outed himself as the source of the classified material about the breadth of the NSAs international intelligence and surveillance programs.
Lastly, we see Snowden in Moscow, where he has found a temporary haven, avoiding arrest, espionage charges and a likely trial.
As I watched Citizenfour, I imagined a sequel, perhaps a drama like the 1977 TV movie, The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald. Wait, youre probably thinking -- Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered two days after JFK. There was no trial. Right you are. The TV movie imagined what a trial might look like if Ruby hadnt shot Oswald in the basement of the Dallas jail.
What could a similar film about a possible Snowden trial look like in skillful hands? How would the governments case fare, casting him as a traitor? What forces would be arrayed for and against him in the courtroom? Would a Snowden movie defense be nipped in the bud by the courts, as happened to Pentagon Papers whistle-blower Daniel Ellsberg?
Ellsberg told the Guardian newspaper, "As I know from my own case, even Snowden's own testimony on the stand would be gagged by government objections."
The governments case against Ellsberg, which included illegal wiretap evidence, was so bungled that the judge declared a mistrial and dismissed charges against Ellsberg and his co-defendant.)
Is there ever likely to be a real Snowden trial? Will Snowden choose to come back to, as Secretary of State John Kerry put it, face the music for releasing NSA documents? Kerry argues that Snowden would have a fair and open trial here; Ellsberg counters that the government holds all the cards in a court setting, and that Snowden and others like him can safely make their cases only outside of this country.

After the Oscars, Edward Snowden the sequel?
The lawyer for NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden says his client never uses an iPhone because of fears about its security, Sputnik News reports.
Anatoly Kucherena spoke to the news agency RIA Novosti and explained that Snowden was wary of the iPhone because of his knowledge of the NSA's surveillance tactics.
"Edward never uses an iPhone; he's got a simple phone," the lawyer said. "The iPhone has special software that can activate itself without the owner having to press a button and gather information about him; that's why on security grounds he refused to have this phone."
Documents leaked by Snowden reveal that iPhone security is an area of interest for the world's spy agencies. The British spy agency GCHQ was recently revealed to have used the UDID system to track iPhone users.
Edward Snowden has been living with his girlfriend in Moscow since fleeing the US following his leak of internal NSA documents. The former government contractor has made appearances at technology conferences using encrypted video streams and telepresence robots during his time in Russia.

Amazon Web Services
Amazon Web Services boosted encryption on its media transcoding in the cloud service with AES-128 encryption to protect the transcoded files, while adopting generic content delivery mechanisms. AWS confirmed that the feature is currently available and there will be no additional charge for the use of AES-128 encryption. Users must pay only for the content transcoded.
When enabling this feature on Amazon Elastic Transcoder, each media segment is encrypted using AES-128 and a single encryption key. A URL (uniform resource locator) to the decryption key is written to each playlist (HLS supports multiple encodings known as variants; each one supports an alternate rendering of the same content). When the content is viewed, the player will download the key and decrypt the media segments during the playback process.
In order to make use of this new feature, users need to associate an Elastic Transcoder pipeline with a KMS master key. They will have two choices when it comes to keys either creating own keys or have Elastic Transcoder generate them.
Amazon Elastic Transcoder is built using the scalability and flexibility of other Amazon Web Services. It runs transcoding jobs using the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) to complete large transcoding jobs. Amazon Elastic Transcoder is built to work with content stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), to offer durable and cost effective storage for huge libraries, or small ones. Users can get notified about the status of transcoding jobs through the Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS).
Each variant playlist will contain a URL that the media player will use to fetch the content protection key using a standard HTTP request. In order to protect access to the key, the content provider must authenticate and authorize the media player. The authentication should result in a session cookie that identifies the media player. The content provider should mandate that the cookie is present and acceptable before returning the key. This mechanism will prevent unauthorized playback and decryption of the content.
If the user decides to use a Content Distribution Network (CDN) such as Amazon CloudFront to distribute content, they need to ensure that the encrypted media files are accessible from CloudFront distribution. However, they must be careful not to store keys in a publicly accessible location.
Last December AWS added the ability to attach up to ten key-value pairs to each Elastic Transcoder jobs. The metadata is included in job notifications and can be used to map jobs back to the content in the internal Content Management System (CMS).
In November, AWS announced AWS Key Management Service (KMS) support for Elastic Transcoder to ensure the confidentiality of media assets (mezzanine files, thumbnails, captions, and watermarks) as they move between application and the Elastic Transcoder service. This launch gave users the control as to who could decrypt content and also allowed to use AWS CloudTrail to create an audit report of all encryption and decryption operations.
