I haven’t ever bought a lightening cable. Every device that uses one (iPhone, Magic Mouse, whatever) has come with one. And lightening cables don’t require unique chargers or converters. I don’t think it’s some great positive, but I also do

So the choices are (a) convince the EU Commission to adopt another charging port, or (b) manufacture devices with multiple charging ports?

But that’s not a problem with TLS any more than you giving out your AES keys is a problem with AES.

by barsonme 4y ago
What you’ve said so far has been generally confused and incorrect. I would suggest doing more research about HTTPS.
98.
by barsonme 4y ago
Not sure how this is a problem with HTTPS, then. It’s like complaining that AES encryption is broken because you have away your keys to a bunch of people.

by barsonme 4y ago
All they see is ciphertext unless they’re terminating TLS and forwarding your traffic on to the target website.

by barsonme 4y ago
How so?
101.
by barsonme 4y ago
I’m not sure what you mean. Do you know how to break TLS?
102.
by barsonme 4y ago
That is entirely untrue. HTTPS is just HTTP encrypted with TLS. The only parties that can decrypt the traffic are the people with the session keys: you and the website you’re visiting.

What are you talking about?

by barsonme 4y ago
They’re not magic. They can’t peek into the TLS connection between your browser and google.com.

by barsonme 4y ago
With some schemes, like ECDSA, you can't use a larger nonce since the nonce is a field element. In general, you shouldn't need to worry about it unless you're using a broken CSPRNG or a bad cryptography library. And some libr

The fmt package should not put the compiler into conservative mode. If it does, file a bug report.

You should mention which browser and OS you're using. Otherwise, your comment isn't very useful.

Thanks. This explains the Common Criteria entropy assessment.
109.
by barsonme 4y ago
And some standards (like Common Criteria) actually require you to bring your own FIPS-validated CSPRNG, which effectively makes a userspace CSPRNG unavoidable. I wasn't aware that FIPS required your _entropy source_ to be validated in

Is your benchmark running concurrently? Or single-threaded?

But the keychain is, of course.

Sure, they’re not E2EE, but stuff like iMessages are E2EE (assuming iCloud backups are turned off so the keys aren’t included in the backup).

Rewriting something like OpenSSL isn't exactly trivial for many of the same reasons rewriting a large, widely used software library (especially one written in C) isn't trivial. Except in this case you need cryptography experts tha

It's got two hoses, one for intake and the other for exhaust. But yeah, the apartment had terrible drafts. And also would turn into an oven. Perks of a concrete apartment, I guess? :)

It was. We blocked off all the windows in our apartment (outside and inside) with old bed sheets and towels. We camped out in our living room with our A/C unit, keeping the "cool" air localized by blocking off the rest of the

To be clear: I’m not advocating anything, just stating that Congress could choose to delegate that authority as a result of the ruling.

By “a safe level of arsenic” I meant “a safe level of arsenic in drinking water.” I’ve edited my comment to make this more clear.

Or Congress could pass legislation granting ATF authority to determine what constitutes a machine gun under the National Firearms Act.
