Arguments that doubts the origins and not the technical merits are very poor arguments. That’s a slippery slope that can go to any absurd extreme such as asking what’s the proof that CurveCP is free from nation-state pressure because of author’s citizenship?
QUIC, despite its warts, is an open spec that anyone can review. The cryptography is based off TLS 1.3 and to prevent ossification it is fully encrypted (sans two sequence numbers). It’s really easy to read spec - really, try reading it.
- bogomipz 4y agoThanks, this was the first I had heard this mentioned and agree the passage doesn't seems grounded in opinion more than technical merit. I was curious about your comment that: >"The cryptography is based off TLS 1.3 and to prevent ossification ..." I thought that the protocol choosing the be encapsulated in UDP was the thing that was addressing protocol ossification since UDP will always be supported by OS's network stacks. Or are you referring to something else?
