Wikileaks on Twitter:pre-commitment 1: John Kerry
- azeirah 10y agoCan someone elaborate a little on what this is? What's a precommitment?
- Pilfer 10y agoWikileaks shared the SHA256 hash of a file they will release in the near future. When the file is released, people will be able to download the file from Wikileaks and verify their file has the same SHA256 hash as the one in this tweet. One benefit of doing this is it prevents people from claiming to be Wikileaks and leaking fake files. If someone claimed to be Wikileaks and released a fake set of emails, readers will know they are fake because the fakes will have a different* SHA256 hash than the one shared in this tweet. (* Note it may be possible to generate two distinct files with the same SHA256 hash however due to the design of SHA256 this is extremely improbable).
