   The purpose of the C++ implementation is to test and validate the other implementations. Use the Python or Java versions.

   Zeros are far more efficient and much faster to generate. Not sure why some have downvoted me. It's easy to verify. time dd if=/dev/zero of=file1.bin bs=1M count=600 600+0 records in 600+0 records out 62914

    The smart grid is being designed now to solve this. Increase efficiency, allow for renewables (wind and solar), and reduce transmission loss (averages 7% in USA), etc. Let's just hope we can properly secure it, the advanced metering in

    I would say certs have value in security management, compliance and audit. In fact, if you want to take one of those paths, certs are mandatory. If you want to do technical security (which is totally different), then get a CS or EE degree a

    I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. See the code I posted. There is no unchangeable static seed.

    The master password of the password manager has the same issue plus the burden of storage.

    I think all password managers that store passwords are flawed. Storage is a burden. The store must be synced between devices, secured, backed-up, etc. and it can be stolen. I believe that passwords should be deterministically generated when

    I wrote a chrome extension to disable js. It's pretty simple and it works well: var contentSettings = chrome.contentSettings; contentSettings.javascript.clear({}, function() { contentSettings.javascript.set({

    I'd go with Java and the standard APIs at first. Kotlin looks very similar to Java just less verbose (I have not used it) and they say that you can mix it in with Java if you like.

    I've never heard it pronounced that way, although 'care' is how the first syllable in the word 'character' is pronounced. I've always heard it pronounced var char (the parts rhyme). Char is pronounced like when

    Great point! The words... their, mare, hair, where... all rhyme in English. This drives Spanish speakers crazy.

    To prevent backdoor abuse, you could have a shared key controlled by various parties. A scheme such as Shamir's Secret Sharing - "An algorithm in cryptography created by Adi Shamir. It is a form of secret sharing, where a secret i
