Public/private key-pair. It wouldn't stop people from faking values, but at least only Blizzard can read them.

- ef4 14y agoThey don't really have enough bits here for asymmetric crypto. How many bits are they able to reliably recover from the screenshot, especially if they want to survive simple downsampling? I would guess not more than 500, probably less than that given the patterns we're seeing. You can't generate a ciphertext smaller than your key size. And 500 bits is really not enough to do typical asymmetric crypto safely.
- gsibble 14y ago"The pattern, which consists of approximately 88 bytes of data..." Actually seems like more than enough room to be encrypted. They probably just didn't think of it.
