Author of linked article speaking. SPARKization is already in the works; can't really consider disabling bounds checks without SPARKistic proof of guaranteed nonoverflow. Being saved for the end of the article series, however; introduc

GPG 1.4 didn't eat it. 'pgpdump', fwiw, did. I have not tested any of the extant proprietary (e.g., MS-Win) PGP clients, quite possibly these items was meant for one such. Neither I nor - afaik - anybody else, at least public

Some of them have legit self-sigs. Also cosmic rays?

Aaaand we found another two. One of which belongs to a GNU dev with some public presence... Still think it was 'cosmic rays' on SKS's machines? Do cosmic rays preferentially strike public keys belonging to major Open Source f

You are just the man to expose the sham, perhaps? Where did we cheat? Who and why placed the key on SKS? Or is Mircea's pact with Satan spiffy enough to enable him to alter the laws of arithmetic?

I, for one, would still like to learn who and why placed the garbage on the SKS servers. (And no, I cannot prove to the satisfaction of everyone that I had not somehow done it myself. Though if anyone can picture what such proof would look

Incidentally, anyone who suspects that I, Mircea, or Hitler fabricated these keys in order to troll the planet, is free to contact anyone who runs an SKS mirror and ask to examine their copies. I do not know where the key came from, and esp

The key as seen by Phuctor had three sub-keys, one of which was an RSA key which turned out to be factorable.

Author of 'phuctor' speaking. I can only confirm that we have a key, downloaded from an SKS dump, said key purporting to belong to one Mr. Anvin, containing one sub-key being an RSA public key which turned out to be factorable wit

Author of the linked article speaking. Possibly I should have emphasized the specific claim that junky input devices (e.g. QWERTY keyboard) are merely one symptom of the deprofessionalization of computer programming - rather than the '

You need an air-gapped computer. An old (circa 2000 or so) laptop running some unix-like is probably best. I'm involved in a project to produce a cheap hardware widget to make this kind of thing easier ( http://cryptome.org&#

I'd go one step further and argue that: no sane language should be a language for producing Unix system calls. The impedance mismatch between sanity and imperative OS (and imperative hardware) is too great.
