Crown Sterling: Five years since TIME AI, five years of grifts and lie
- tabletopneedle 3y agoFive years ago, today, the infosec community found itself wondering about Robert Edward Grant's Quasi-primes, and an ever expanding portfolio of grifts by his company, Crown Sterling. These included * TIME AI, a completely bonkers, five-dimensional vaporware cipher with time-traveling keys, * Black Hat 2019 crank presentation, * Bogus RSA break claims, and later, * Cryptographic protocol broken in just about all aspects, * Cryptocurrency grifts, and as the newest addition, * A browser-based messaging app. This wiki-article documents and debunks pretty much all of it, in ridiculous detail and with more than 200 references.
