The bullshit "AES-1024" is quoted from the product description and repeated in the title as clickbait.
- SAI_Peregrinus 4y agoYes, I merely want to reiterate as clearly as possible that there's no such algorithm endorsed by NIST. AES is a standard, AES-1024 isn't one of the variants of that standard. For good reason. Symmetric key sizes larger than 256 bits are pretty much universally snake oil.
- a1369209993 4y ago> Symmetric key sizes larger than 256 bits are pretty much universally snake oil. 512, actually - some symmetric applications are vulnerable to collision or collision-like attacks, and a cosmological-scale attacker can theoretically get up to about 2^308[0] bit operations at current-ish cosmic microwave background temperatures, so 2^256 bit operations is just about plausible in worst case scenario planning. But 256-bit keys are probably sufficient for any practical application, and that doesn't excuse 1024 anyway. 0: You have: log2(1e80 amu c2 / k 3K ln(2)) # (mass of observable universe / landauer limit) Definition: 307.99542
- jupp0r 4y agoThe title is funny, they even intentionally put "military grade" in there to make the sarcasm even more apparent. This is different from click bait, which I see as an intentional dark pattern.
- dwringer 4y agoI think it would be a far better headline if "military grade AES-1024" were put in scare quotes. Otherwise it just looks like clickbait and presumably keeps a lot of people from ever clicking on it.
