There is probably no good answer that doesn't sacrifice security. At some point you have to be willing to say "ok, I accept this risk, this is still way better than using just passwords." Personally, I enroll multiple devices

This is a bit rose tinted outlook. GDPR does not increase competition, the amount of regulation in EU and worker protections in place raise barriers for new competitors. France has laws that prohibit new movies from being put on Netflix in

Ask yourself, “where does the data originate?” If the data originates offline - e.g. paperwork for an aircraft part - you still need to trust whoever puts the data on the blockchain. Are they who they say they are? Are the documents trustwo

If you use macOS, there’s this: http://github.com/sqreen/twofa It’s a CLI tool that generates TOTP codes (and puts them directly in the pasteboard). You can “scan” the QR code by taking a screenshot of it, and when gen

Different franchises have different brand promises. McDonald’s can maybe change its menu, and close at odd hours. They can’t, however, have their Big Macs taste different in Paris, London, or Riga. Nor can they remove the Big Mac from the m

Can anybody elaborate on the idea that for RSA <=2048 is potentially unsafe? Is it true? It seems that even 1024 bit keys haven't been factored yet, much less 2048, so why use anything else currently? https://en.m.wikiped
