What's an example of something they could add that would make A+ harder to get, and also add meaningful security?
723.
by mkj 10y ago
No, sites would be better off spending that extra effort on non-cryptographic security like protecting their DNS registration, internal spearphishing, etc.

A 3.3v power supply with a 3.5mm audio socket for bypass current measurement. (well perhaps not most proud, but it's cute) https://matt.ucc.asn.au/voltbox/

The merge algorithm http://wiki.monotone.ca/MarkMerge/ used by Monotone has a well defined user model for conflicts, with similarity to Codeville's merge algorithm iirc. I'm not sure if any later VCS used it,

Obviously he's just bitter they didn't use his cryptosystem ;)

The problem with that is you don't know what UTC is going to be in the future for a certain place and time.

In my experience it's better to store local time (where the event physically happens) with a named timezone. That way when daylight saving laws change with 3 weeks notice you can adjust without shifting events (cough Outlook). UTC can

Ah right. That makes a bit more sense, I thought Troy meant the paper answers ended up on the webserver. I guess I was thinking the online presence was more like a "contact us" email form that emails it somewhere internal, not sto

The official statement http://info.donateblood.com.au downplays what was disclosed. "Included in the file was information such as names, addresses and dates of birth." That's kind of different to the confidential

It will be interesting to see how well they use their new hardware unspoofable UI. Puts Apple Pay ahead of most other payments in terms of security.

Because it's useful to figure the intent of strange-looking code that was last touched 15 years ago. (Don't know the parent's situation, but that's the case for me here. Perforce isn't too bad for that)

Looks like it uses annotate information, seems pretty handy. https://bitbucket.org/facebook/hg-experimental/src/default/h...

So who's going to make us all a nice fork of smartmontools that does all the prediction?

by mkj 10y ago
Yep. Though I assume this needs some interesting network traffic to trigger it.

What circumstances are needed for this to be exploitable? Wondering if iptables could mitigate for systems where upgrading the kernel is non-trivial.

You get automatic upvotes if you mention crypto and performance?

There's one of these in Perth Australia. Reportedly has a wireless keyboard for manual control...

I was wondering that. Random guess - people don't expect the euro currency to exist in 2030?

Is there any work on ASLR for quasi-static binaries? So you have no external linking (good for distribution and unsurprising dependencies), but still relocate at runtime.

So wosign's best bet might be to call Mozilla's bluff and issue backdated certs now?

Won't the quantum computer break the curve25519 key exchange?

by mkj 10y ago
A ssh private key does not need to protect future secrets, it just signs an ephemeral challenge. So it doesn't really make sense to worry about future quantum crypto etc. I'd posit that even 1024 is probably still safe enough ther

Pretty sure just burning it is an order of magnitude more than other uses. Coal for building sounds exciting though?

Hey cool, someone's made one of them. If only I'd published something in 2012 when I made a start at making a tilt hydrometer but didn't finish it. Silly patents http://www.google.com/patents/US2014026060

It seems unlikely it'd actually get implemented.

So is consumer XPoint hardware really coming soon?
