- teo_zero 3mo agoThank you. I imagined that the 3 words were just a rendez-vous token that the receiving end must hand to the relay to retrieve the right data. I understand that it also includes a password to validate the key. Are 32 bits enough to serve both functions?
- shim__ 3mo agoYes 32 bit is enough because in PAKE its used for authenticstion not encryption. Which means you get exactly one attempt to brute force after which the procedere will fail
