Yeah, those are definitely probably reflashable more easily than you'd
like. They're a bit more tricky than they'd seem to be at first. Definitely
a better choice than Intel though. On the todo list.

It seems obvious that blatant lying about qualities of procedures must have
some malignant intention, yet ignorance is as good an explanation. I don't
think lying the other way would solve an
It's reasonable as it's not a security sensitive environment. Please for

ROT-26 is fantastic for certain purposes. Like when encrypting for kids

IMO readability is very hard to measure. Likely things being where you
expect them to be, with minimal confusing characters but clear "anchoring"
so you can start reading from anywhere.
If someone could write a generative meta-language we can then ask people to
do "text comprehension" tasks on the
So their research was stolen and they were assassinated by the NSA? Makes
sense. (Except for the NSA's lack of field agents! CIA involvement is
required)

Explain why, please. It might expand the attack surface, that's true. You

That they have the capacity doesn't mean they ever actually did it,
Schneier's comment is conservative. It is obviously within in their (legal)
capacity to change anything going accross US and INTNET cables and to forge
a some families of signatures.

Right.

Public key depends on high level math. That math has some asymetric
property that we can use to achieve the public-private key relationships.
The problem is that the discovery of smarter math can invalidate the
asymetry and make it more symetrical. This has to do with P=NP, which is
also less triv
