I come back to my debate point. I think tech is in a state now where we definitely have personal policy positions but as engineers, we are reluctant to frame what we do that way. This is in contrast to politics where most issues are acceptably on a spectrum, because that is more of a "soft" field. I suspect "RSA is obsolete" is one of those things where you've carved out a position on one end, much like Schneier carved out his position on one end of curves as discussed upthread. I'm not calling you wrong, mind, as that comparison might imply: just a surprising opinion and you've certainly earned it, and I like hearing about it, and I think of you as one colorful end of a spectrum on this and a few other points. And throughout my life the extreme opinions have often panned out (i.e. Snowden), so I don't dismiss them much any more. Maybe you're crypto's Bernie. Feel the Ptacek.
