I'll mention this, regarding that earlier RSA discussion. I'm not experienced enough to judge this article. Be forewarned it's written by a furry, and he may visit this channel, since he checks his referrers for just this. |

He does recommend against using RSA, where possible, and repeats that nonsense about not writing cryptographic code at all. |

bvt last seen in #ossasepia on 2020-05-25 05:15:47: if i liked that code, i would have just released the vpatch immediately with performance benchmark, so i agree with 'case against'. i will look into improving the error reporting code -- this should be possible (with slightly more code in v.sh), though the precise loop analysis would take approximately the same amount of ada code as went into that experimental vpatch. |

It's good to know I correctly figured the cryptography article was mistaken, although that's a very safe guess for any such article. |

It's bewildering how anyone can see what happened with OpenSSL and still think ``Don't roll your own crypto.'' is good advice. At least many implementations would have many different flaws, if none were perfect. |

Most people, when pressed, would probably claim they don't really need encryption, but then why play pretend. My connection to Freenode isn't encrypted, yet I've yet to see this abused. |

as for encryption -- 99+% of what's 'out there' in the sense of 'readable by plebe armed w/ google' was written specifically to ensure that actual crypto aint there when you in fact do need it. |
