Man I'd be sweating like a pig if I was direct-applying epoxy to a prototype so close to done. I'm used to code where trial and error is de rigueur, I forget sometimes you only get one chance.

You appear to have not read this thread. The point is about making encrypted email easier. PGP is not the answer, its tools are awful as stated in OP. SMIME can be the answer, but the paucity of CA for personal certs is an issue. That is wh

Because that brings us to square one again, which is the article. You need a CA, PGP/GPG construct their own federated "CA" like entity, but its the same thing.

I read this on a whim and now I'm amazed: I never considered algorithms as part of mechanical engineering. Very clever. And in a pedantic reading of Richard Dawkins, this is the kind of "meme" he was talking about.

> CA certificate signing is orthogonal to encryption. Yes in the broad sense and no in the specific case. In order to activate macOS Mail encryption you need a certificate on your keychain. So by having a CA issue you a certificate, the

This article ignores certified email built into almost every email client. I recently experimented with Thunderbird and Mac Mail because I wanted to set up encrypted email, and I wanted to move from GMail to one of my domains through RunBox

I think this is a great example of how to take a fairly complicated topic that goes deep, and progressively build an understanding with successive refinement of examples. They way the paper goes from the "what" to "why"

Here's some clarification I googled because I was a little confused by your comment: TL;DR - The FDA only approved it for emergency investigation, not treatment. (as of 2020-03-31): https://www.forbes.com/sites/rac

Power-On-Self-Test (POST) calibration loop or training. Not as far fetched. RDRAM does something similar when it comes online: it has to "train" the physical link every time the system is booted by generating bogus traffic and tim

I guess it depends who you are talking about. Computer Scientists are generally great at math, but it doesn't mean they are good programmers. A good programmer has style: from how the code looks, to how it is arranged, test, regressed.

Why doesn't it though? The paper referred to in this "ad" is from 2013. That's 7 years ago. And LastPass is very good at responding to issues. Clearly they don't see this as a problem?
