I apologize but there is no such thing as "it is (ALWAYS|NEVER) a good idea" no matter how many blog posts people wrote about that. It just depends on which are the tradeoffs between the antithetic goals that you have when you do

Nice piece; unfortunately it's not just about MS Word. It's pretty common for inferior/hurtful-in-the-long-term products to get leading positions in the market and become "unavoidable". The first easy guess is that

you know the kind of solution you come up with when you just realized you made some terrible mistake and adrenaline keeps flowing no matter how much you try to stay calm? this is exactly how this post looks like to me. Don't get me wro

Good question, difficult answer. We are doing our best. So far, the performance and usage-of-resources are not the fields where we put the most of our effort. Additionally, there are two main issues to consider: The first is about our secur

you might want to look at this ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5033540 ) comment on why the PBKDF2 is sent for the authentication rather than the password. As far as concerns the usage of TLS, your guess is correct, right now we al

Apologies if the title of the post is not clear, I should have specified that it was only about the client. You are right, one of our main goals is to prove that our security is "for real". However, we also hope that our open source client

the point is that in FileRock, several things depend on your password, and some of them must be kept confidential and never sent even to the FileRock servers. You are right, from the only point of view of the authentication, using a passwor

Re-implementing crypto functions is generally a terrible idea, unless you really know what you are doing (and most likely you don't). There are so many different relevant factors to consider, that single individuals or organizations are rea

The thing is: (blogging|writing)-about-/publishing- code takes time. And time is really what people doing amazing stuff are short on the most. Don't get me wrong, both discussing and publishing are amazing, but often life is just too short

Hackers love complexity. Others just don't. Understanding differences between two (especially "difficult") things means at least having a vague idea of what each is about. And regardless how you find that interesting, almost any non geek/cu

The whole CA trust model is a complete mess. I suggest interested people to google for the work from moxie marlinspike (@moxie__), e.g., presentation from last BH ( http://bit.ly/rbqMCq ) and convergence ( http://convergence.io/ ).

Be direct, honest and keep it simple. That means, (1) be very clear on your abilities and expectations, (2) don't make them loose time, and (3) if you want to know whether they are looking for / would be interested in someone like you for a
