Yes, I generally understand these concepts, but I am not a security professional and found the explanation useful both for my own comprehension and for improving my ability to relay complex technical topics to non technical people.
- pilsetnieks 11y agoI get that it's good to educate the general public but first of all, we're not exactly the general public here, and something even a little bit more substantial would have been nice. Second, this description is so vague, it could apply to almost anything. When the next openssl vulnerability, or android bug, or any other crypto weakness appears, you could almost run the same article: "Web's secret numbers are too weak. These numbers are vital to security. They prevent data theft. Your data could be vulnerable." While true, it's pointless.
