- kbart 11y ago"illegal algorithms" Wow, how do you define that? So, start banning math now?
- fucking_tragedy 11y agoHey, I'd love to know exactly how one implements backdoored crypto without banning securely encrypted communication.
- arpa 11y agoHow would one determine whether a legal algorithm was used or an illegal one? Even without steganography?
- fucking_tragedy 11y agoCan we run the ciphertext through a state-approved program and get the plaintext? No? Then it isn't backdoored and is illegal.
- arpa 11y agoWell maybe i'm transmitting my memory dump or generating random traffic / sprouting entropy. Or everything is transmitted with mime types? Even so it makes no sense as even the most basic steganography would provide plausible deniability. I mean encrypted data is indistinguishable from noise...
- arpa 11y agoon the other hand your reply deeply reflects on the common (lack) of knowledge of government types - i could bet they think the same :)
