That is likely the correct answer. I believe the problem is the machines use a resistive touch screen (which respond to pressure - and hence the finger nail is more effective) as opposed to the capacitive touch screens that pretty much ever

I travel from the south-west of England towards London every weekday, on a service that runs hourly. As far as I know, the trains that service this route only use this type of outside-only-opening train door, including the train I rode this

I don’t suppose you’d be able to support Google Music on iOS? I am a big album person, and the number of hoops I have to jump through to find an album to listen to always frustrates me - so this looks great. The problem is most of my music

Telephony is federated, in some senses. But not as is generally accepted when speaking about internet communication protocols. Compared to SMTP or IRC, the average person can't start their own telephony service provider - to do so is h

Moxie is talking specifically about making a secure (particularly, end-to-end secure) federated communication protocol. Making insecure federated communication protocols is pretty much a solved problem, yes. (And I'm sure some people a

Wow, I had no idea YubiKey offered that mode of operation. I had assumed it was purely used as a OTP. Do you know of any documentation for it?

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear there. Under-specified security properties. Although they (and TLS, honestly) do a better job than others, in their protocol documentation they really don't go to any lengths to describe what actu

I would argue that the reason protocol errors are perceived to be "quite rare" is because the security guarantees that many (most?) security protocols offer are usually under-specified, if at all. When auditing protocols, analysts

What Malwaretech has been charged with here would likely be illegal under UK law as well as US law (section 37 of the Computer Misuse Act [1] appears to be analogous to the charges being brought against him). And regardless, the UK-US extra

If its a "solved problem" then why aren't users flocking to IRC over Slack? The answer is likely multifaceted, but part of it is undoubtedly the usability of the client - which may be resource intensive, but that was likely

In this case, it's a legal requirement on the BBC. Their funding for iPlayer comes directly from the license fee that UK live-TV watchers legally have to pay annually. They do re-sell their content around the world and even have a comm

But in protocols such as TLS or PGP, the computational requirements of RSA means it is often just used to encrypt a symmetric key, which is then shared with the recipient, in a very similar way to how DH is used to establish a shared secret
