Boring is a sign of maturing: the focus should shift from algorithmic innovations to testing / validation / proof that the implementation is correct, which requires a mostly monoculture.
- cl3misch 3y agoThat's what I was thinking. If we want transparent crypto (i.e. not security by obscurity) and the implementation is highly vetted, its "monopoly" is actually desirable. Of course we might not even be aware of even better methods of doing crypto. But such advancements come from researchers anyway, and in that are not hindered by this monopoly.
