You completely missed my second point there - that even if you can afford to take the performance hit it still doesn't solve the problem.
And most of the cryptographic functions we're talking about here are things for webservers, where low performance leaves you open to easy (D)DOSing.
- mreiland 12y agoYou haven't explained why it doesn't solve the problem. My experience has been if I can't understand it, it's because it's bullshit. So why not take another crack at explaining why that wouldn't solve the problem? And don't complain to me about DDOS, people specifically code cryptographic functions to take longer than they absolutely have to. If they're not worried about DDOS, neither are we for the purposes of this conversation.
