Hmm, training 30-40 min, authentication 5 min. That's a huge inconvenience. It's very interesting research but I don't see this being used in real life.

- frandroid 12y agoWell, one has to think of the contexts in which rubber hose cryptography might be used. If you're a political dissident or whistleblower, you might invest the time. Think Edward Snowden, etc. Clearly this is not meant to lock your phone. :)
- Kenji 12y agoEven if it was used for launching nukes. Do you want the president to play a game for 5 minutes to give consent? It's unrealistic.
- jeffreyrogers 12y ago> It's unrealistic. I think you'll find this is true of most academic research :)
- Kenji 12y agoYes but the commenter was arguing specifically for this method being applied in real life. While my opinion is that the research is very interesting but that's unlikely.
