Re: RSA question

; caveat emptor. I would imagine it'd be the result of fitting some reasonable exponential to both keylengths and extrapolating, which then of course blows up...for once *literally* exponentially. ;) -- Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy - de...@iki.fi, http://decoy.iki.fi/front +358-50-5756111, 025E D175

break. That should be fair enough, and should help us optimize against future security breaks at the margin, no? -- Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy - de...@iki.fi, http://decoy.iki.fi/front +358-50-5756111, 025E D175 ABE5 027C 9494 EEB0 E090 8BA9 0509 85C2

Re: A mighty fortress is our PKI

then have any quantitative research on how bad this sort of sharing really is, in excess of the basic cryptographic vulnerability? Does the social network research of recent years yield any numbers, for instance? -- Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy - de...@iki.fi, http://decoy.iki.fi/front +358-50-5756111

Re: How far is the NSA ahead of the public crypto community?

in this department most likely fall in the advanced category even today, especially if computationally thrifty.

Re: time reversal acoustics

and then use them as computationally heavy black boxes in algorithms. (The latter part is analogous to efforts at creating physical one-time tokens for watermarking purposes.) -- Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], tel:+358-50-5756111 student/math+cs/helsinki university, http://www.iki.fi
