Bunch of researchers from another country with a different cryptographic tradition creates different cryptographic primitives and a competing school of cryptography calls them weird and "toothpaste". What did I just read?
- at-fates-hands 6y agoThat was my impression as well. "You're not doing it the way we did it, so we're assuming you must be doing other nefarious things as well." That's some pretty serious hubris and not something I've seen before in the crypto space. I've just always assumed most of the people in crypto worked together to build a better product which seems to be constantly under attack from governments. This is the first time I've seen one group call out another group simply because they didn't do it "the FB way"? Is this just some healthy competition between two competing products or is FB actively trying to undermine Telegram's product??
- viro 6y ago> different cryptographic tradition ...Thats not how maths works... cryptography is just math.
- wizzwizz4 6y agoThere are different traditions within topology. Cryptography is much larger.
