Pretty ironic Craig also suggests to put digital certificates on the blockchain instead of them issued by a computer or a cluster of computers, in one place, which makes them a target. A peer to peer network is much more resilient to attacks.
Was the problem, or a part of the problem, that the root certificate of all computers was replaced by CrowdStrike? I didn't follow that part closely. If it was, then certificates registered on the blockchain might be a solution.
I'm totally not an expert in cryptography, but that seems plausible.
As a side note, it is only when i heard Craig's Wright explanation of the blockchain that the bitcoin whitepaper started making a lot of sense. He may not be the greatest of coders, but are mathematicians useless in security?
- kragen 2y agonone of your comment makes any sense. possibly it was generated by a large language model with no understanding of what is being talked about
- emporas 2y agois it not the problem, that CrowdStrike takes hold of the root certificate authority of a computer? There is an update, and after that what is causing the problem? If it is the certificate, that could be solved in the future by putting the certificates on the blockchain. If it is just incompetent management, then i don't see a great deal of technical solutions. Craig Wright, claims to be a mathematician not a stellar coder.
- kragen 2y agothat comment does make some sense, but it is still wrong from beginning to end; everything it says is close to the opposite of the truth
