However it seems to me that to this day there is no proof they intentionally tried to weaken a standardized crypto algorithm, they seem to have instead relied in the past on imposing reduced sizes of keys. But even that seems to have change

Yeah that's always your mantra, I'm glad for you that you inherited your skills from god and think nobody else is able to dicern good code from bad code, well implemented crypto, from badly implemented crypto. But I dare to say th

He did something I'd honestly never have the courage to do if I were in his position. He knows he will certainly pay for his action the rest of his life but despite that he did it. I'm not easily emotional but reading this article

Indeed! I think the only reason Britain or France still don't have the same mass-surveillance systems in place is their lack of budgets. Otherwise I'm sure we wouldn't be better protected than the americans in the US. Althoug

In this case I don't think we needed the quote of a disgruntled or corrupted official to know how offensive the US has become in cyberspace in recent years (see all the malwares attacks Stuxnet/Flame against Iran). (Note I used

I think Glenn Greenwald is a damn good writer, I used to read his articles a lot when he was writing for Salon , he really read a lot, has an extensive knowledge of this area and knows how to use all these excerpts and quote extensively to

Concerning the sync I think they're waiting to see if Apple plans to fix iCloud (with CoreData) in iOS 7 or if they must look for another way to do the sync. At least this is what I would do, we're very near WWDC I think it was wise to wait

I think what is trying to say, is: let peoples learn by their mistakes. I really don't understand your focus on making a kind of witch hunt anytime someone try to learn and implement crypto. It is certainly the responsability of the develop

Ah Great to know, I'm really tempted by the Keon. [edit] I decided to buy it, but they seem to not have many stocks, it's currently out of stock for both models.

Interesting, I think I'm interrested in getting one of these devices [1]. I'm wondering though if there are currently the only (preview) devices supporting Firefox OS? And if there are officially supported by Mozilla and will continue to of

From the post on the french forum: they were generating a 21 characters string from 3 different sources of random (each source contributing 7 characters to the final string) and it looks like that among these 3 sources, 2 of them were flawe

For those trying to compile it, you'll need to install the last version (6.0.0) of NTL (the Ubuntu package from 13.04 does not provide this version).

I'm not a specialist at all of these questions but I would say that kernel modifications are not worth taking such a big risk. And if they wanted to avoid publishing the code of some parts of their kernel implementation maybe they could ins

It's not as if they were making us a gift... As soon as they sold their first device it was required by the Linux kernel GPL2 license to release the kernel source code.

I certainly have less read about their background than you have but I thought the younger brother Dzhokhar was smart at least that's what few witnesses seemed to imply. Also I would not consider failing grades on a short period of time ne

Nowadays in the wide I mainly see two use cases for GPL code, either the person want to limit its use to encourage purchase of a commercial license or to prevent its use by a conccurrent, or the second use I see is people wanting to make a

Indeed. More or less the DCRI would be equivalent to the FBI and the DGSE would be equivalent to a kind of CIA/NSA even if it is not completely true given that CIA is a civil agency. But what's important is that DCRI's competency is domesti

Two words: Contribute Back. I profit, learn and extensively use from what people have shared and kindly contributed and whenever I can I want to do the same. But I must say, I never open source as much stuff as I'd want simply because I don

I think it's more complicated than that IMO, by controlling the platform i.e. by signing keys and authenticating users they certainly can impersonate clients to others clients, but I doubt they can collect users private keys generated on us

In the page you link to, it doesn't seem there is an example where one client try to send a message to another client? Am I missing something?

@jmillikin I remember they contributed back to the KHTML project by releasing a patch. Do your employer plan to release a patch back to Webkit? And you also seem to forget that back then there wasn't as many small vendors as there are today

This is a fallacious argument in this context, this is a pretext, that's why I used the word 'hypocrisy'. And also I really think that a so called 'diversity' of implementations of open source projects may only really be sustainable for lar
