I don't understand the trend from these last years of trying to copy successful model by importing just the emergent part and ignoring all which is hidden. We have the example of the attempt of a French Silicon Valley [1] while there i

It does not gratify my intellectual curiosity. We see this kind of article every now and then and they do not bring anything but couldas/shouldas/wouldas.

That's just in-memory obfuscation. The value is xored with 0x23dc67e8 when set and the variable xored again whenever is used. Its first use is to check that the symbol was resolved correctly, that implies testing for NULL/0. The c

That's actually sensible, but if Steam encrypt their communications, you will just get random data. You could still infer things from the timings, but again, it is not always practical.

About the political orientation, I do know that we are considered as a socialist country abroad, and even more in the States. I am just sharing what I have witnessed from inside. For instance, in the mind of most people, the left wing (PS,

Yes, I did not consider that. But I think the fact that recent account can only upvote is a good thing for the quality of comments. I agree that downvotes can be meaningful, but they are often used to vote against an opinion, which is not g

It was never said that all humans where alike and to be handled the same way. You won't give the same birth control methods to male and female individual for instance. When speaking of equality, I think it is implied equality before so

As a French, I must say that we are so much used to this system that it seems obvious. And, French being French, we like to complain about the flaws (well, there are some). But whenever I read this kind of article, I realize that this is no

Yes, that's exactly how cryptography research works: first, find and publish a plausibly secure and practical scheme, then have other researcher try and break it. If it does not break, it is considered secure.

Bernstein's paper are very interesting and contain strong material. He uses an excellent theoretical background but keeps practical considerations in sight. The cryptographic constructions he published are very efficient (e.g. RFSB [1]
