But when I see "roll their own encryption," it tells me that they went out of their way to create something subpar. There are some things that one should never* roll one's own of, and encryption has to be the top of the list.
* OK, if you're an encryption expert, you obviously would roll your own to advance the state of the art, but Zoom are quite obviously not encryption experts.
- Justsignedup 7y ago"Roll your own" is such a oversimplification. Usually it is: I can spend all this time making things right, or bob here knows how to do this other simple way that is good enough in a week.
- uoaei 7y agoIt's so much more important to make things right than to have something "good enough" (which is never actually good enough) that reducing it to that simplistic binary is not all that drastic.
