Why do you, and your supposed cryptography engineers, talk shit about everything that is actually used instead of doing something useful like making those thing

Why do you, and your supposed cryptography engineers, talk shit about everything that is actually used instead of doing something useful like making those things better or providing alternatives?
It's getting really hard to take you seriously. You hate gpg, you hate pki and you always claim to know better than industry standards without providing any details whatsoever.
- tptacek 3y agoI don't know where "you hate PKI" comes from. Certainly I dislike X.509! It's a terrible protocol/format, and I doubt even its own designers would repeat the mistake. But I use the WebPKI, and have spent most of my time on HN talking about it defending it. I'm pretty comfortable with who does and doesn't take me seriously, for what it's worth. You don't have to if you don't want to.
- beeboobaa 3y agoOkay you hate X509. Should we just ditch https then?
- tptacek 3y agoIt's as if you stopped reading 1/3 of the way into the comment you're replying to.
- beeboobaa 3y agoWhat? You want me to acknowledge this? > I'm pretty comfortable with who does and doesn't take me seriously, for what it's worth. You don't have to if you don't want to. Cool. Happy for you bro.
