and any country the traffic passes not to inject any malicious code.

- The "password" to encrypt the paste is part of the URL. If you publicly post

- The "key" used to encrypt the paste is part of the URL. If you publicly post
a non-passworded paste URL, everybody can read it. Use a password if you want
your paste to be "private".

- A server admin might be forced to hand over access logs to the authorities.
