(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: zx2c4: '#pest' aint an irc chan, it's an emulation which happens when you run the client (both of'em use irc frontend presently, so can use traditional chat clients)
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: zx2c4: it aint a irc chan on dulapnet, no. wholly new p2p protocol. there are 2 (published, phf has 1 still under wraps) prototypes.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: zx2c4: btw you may find new pre-draft of protocol interesting.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: zx2c4: most of the action is on pestnet nao

(asciilifeform) phf: zx2c4: to clarify the point i was making was that dearth of crypto is not a deterrent to someone with a true need, that is all. and ascii got it
(asciilifeform) verisimilitude: I'm not an expert, zx2c4, but the OTP is the only unbreakable encryption mechanism, so what's so bad about acknowledging that?
(asciilifeform) phf: zx2c4: ok, well, so that there's no misunderstanding this is not what i'm talking about
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: zx2c4: generally in softwarism just about any idiocy 'is fine' if the value of you & yer cargo is ~0
(asciilifeform) phf: zx2c4: can you restate my point to me so that i make sure you understand it, because i'm pretty sure you don't, and arguing something else entirely.
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: zx2c4: dun recall whether you were there for the thread where mp revealed that doesn't in fact grasp the (not complicated) proof re otp

(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: zx2c4: fwiw long ago asciilifeform solved rng problem on pc inexpensively; 0 surprises for guessing how much money from it, etc
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: zx2c4: pretty typical; you can write whatever proggy, that saves whatever mega-dough for over9000 users, and see, if yer lucky, some pennies in hat
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: zx2c4: iirc yer proggy is used by over9000 today. and still evidently no 'philanthropists' eh

(asciilifeform) puman: I send young friends interested in "sekoority" to Koblitz, because they can only find meaning in credentialed authority, they wouldn't "trust" puman or ascii for that matter. Similar to zx2c4 fella, seems he even found a Koblitz paper by himself and came back to share with #t.
(asciilifeform) snsabot: (trilema) 2018-04-16 zx2c4: mircea_popescu: ahh that ignorant and antiquated notion, that "key size implies security size". or do you think there will be some amazing GNFS-like algorithms that come out for ECC, requiring ECC to use absurdly huge keys in the same way as RSA?

(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, anyway ; his argument is principally that they were straight talking. which is true, the difference between stalin-socialism and roosevelt-socialism is strictly that the cripple shunned straight talk ; whereas the bank robber reveled in it.

(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, not a matter of trivially. what i say has a lot of power, such as to end careers, research lines etcetera.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, the debian bug was a nsa plant is neitehr controversial nor requires any conspiracy.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, a) it is not a complaint b) seeing how i'm the one with all the money and all the rapes, i can scarcely conceive what "the world" even is.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, in statistics, it's the universal "no relevance" ; in practice, this must be translated to meaning.
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: well, you seem to see the burden of proof, on asciilifeform , to show that debiankeys , or e.g. heartbleed, was a work of nsa plant
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: your null hypothesis is defective.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i don't think the usg is capable of representing me at all.
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: take very concrete case, of the debian keys. i.e. a nsa-planted 'bug'. it was very concretely in the nsa interest to prevent public euclidization , would have revealed the 'bug' immediately.
(trilema) asciilifeform: specifically to ~prevent~ folx such as zx2c4 from hearing about e.g. phuctor, or other actual attempts at experiment, and if they hear -- from taking seriously. 'boeck did it in 2007' 'but did he publish a divisor?' 'uhhhh'
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: the fraudulent content-free publications of supposed 'results' consisting of 'we broke 9000 keys last year, but no we won't say which keys and what the divisors are' are smoke screen, plain and simple.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, let's think about it together, then.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i dunno what conspiracy is under discussion here.
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: then i would ask why you decided to be an accomplice in usg coverup ?
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: the fact that not a single broken key was published prior to phuctor's, is not a problem in your eye ?
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, show me these results!
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, which part ?
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: 2) they did not do the research
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, 2. 3 is an indirect side effect of no particular consequence.
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: consider, 'researchers' did their 'research' while the debian keys calamity lay unpublic for 3+ yrs.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, understand the full model of this : ambitious people whose hardware does not support their aspirations (ie, the aspirational 14%) say things that are not true. such as "we did research of so and so". now and again, they happen on a useful lie, something the establishment does not actually want researchedf. so they get a little slop, to encourage them to continue with their nonsense, while their imago is then used to pe
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: pay and written orders are not a necessary hypothesis. fact of the matter is that you do not get to ~become~ 'a nadia' or 'a boeck' unless you behave 'like a civilized academic' and do what is expected of you, without being asked.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, no. i am saying that they are intelectually incosequential ninnies, who happened to tell a convenient lie.
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: i refuse to dignify their disinfo with the word 'study'
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: what they do -- we call it fraud.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, you're more than welcome to identify sets of keys WITH THE RESPECTIVE FACTORS published by anyone, at any time, then compare this with the phuctor set, and then write to whatever plagiarism committee you imagine is keeping academia from wallowing in the utter gutters of the intellectual world.
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: i wrote phuctor in 2013 after yrs of watching academiderps fraudulently pretend to have performed similar experiment ( while they published 0 keys )
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: the 'idea' is, arguably, euclid's.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, "real" in what sense ? it was published once phuctor published the results, through the procedure of copy.pasting it.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, vice-versa.

(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, it doesn't pay enough to save ? i made more money than i knew what to do with during my stint.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, well, so then take it easy and trust in the future ? obviously not everyone can possibly be running clippers to india, else who'd be making the colonnades back in the forum.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, they have no pill for rsa ; which is why the ecc behaviour.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, not doomed as long as the republic stands.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, my concern is that the literature is entirely worthless.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, understand, the expectation here isn't "longer, therefore better". the situation is as described above, my key budget is 4096 bits, both ecc and rsa are ok by this measure.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, look, think of a number between 0 and 2, 0 and 2 exclusive. have you ? here i go, ima guess it! you thought of 1!
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i am very skeptical because rsa they hated and ecc they pushed and then suddenly everyone forgot the 90s and is all onboard.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, looky, i get that i may seem retarded at times and in some lights, but it's not a safe assumption.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, and the "that many attacks against RSA dont work with ECC" claim is especially odious, as it comes from a single source, which is a criminal org with a history of manipulatively lying. what happens is that usg publishes every ~useless "attack" on rsa and withholds the few ~working~ attacks on ecc from publishing. then you get this situation where seemingly, for the very naive surface-seekers, "ecc has advantages". it h
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i proposition that the smaller the key, the smaller the key. this can't be meaningless.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, the only thing you can get with a smaller key is "something just as good", in the sense mcdonalds is just as good as the restaurant i go to. perhaps it is -- for the poor. i'm not poor, nor do i orient my life around the needs of the needy.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, no, they're fucking disputable. you're going to tell me you get "the same thing" but "with a smaller key" ? i'm tuning out, this is nonsense.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i don't buy into the advantages.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, given like that for the sake of ready computability, see. nothing more.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, was just an example.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i suspect you're right.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, the idea being that the "wtf are you going to do, keep talking forever with anyone you ever talk to ?! morons!" problem is not unknown, but a major item giving me a bellyache as it stands now. invariants, god damn them all.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, tmsr, the most serene republic, this thing. gossipd, lessee.... there's http://trilema.com/2016/gossipd-design-document/ and http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=gossipd and not much else. it's vaporware for now.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, yeah. have you seen anything re gossipd, ~speaking the tmsr-wireguard ?
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, honestly, i'm satisfied with this for an answer "look, wireguard can be used many ways, nothing wrong with your way, and it's supported, but in general other people want other things and so there it is".
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, so is your idea that basically this should be handled by the app importing your lib, rather than the lib itself, more flexibility this way ?
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i don't mean random (20,200). i just mean, the size of your smallest non-zero packet. was it 8 or what was it ?
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, some random 8 byte string or whatever.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, but the option isn't exactly "send nothing or send 0 length message". the option is "send nothing / zero length message OR send the time".
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, go ahead.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4, does that work ?
(trilema) a111: Logged on 2018-04-13 20:37 zx2c4: i'm not saying everyone with leisure _does_ do something worthwhile with it. but you cant deny that leisure is in many cases a necessary precondition for many great aspects of civilization
(trilema) mircea_popescu: it's indisputable that the work put in by various republian people is worth money ; and this constitutes an investment they made. nevertheless, how this is evaluated is rather an open question -- according to say zx2c4
(trilema) a111: Logged on 2018-04-13 20:16 mircea_popescu: zx2c4 you'd be terribly worse off, and so would be the bitcoin ecosystem.
(trilema) a111: Logged on 2018-04-13 20:22 zx2c4: the reason is actually, "so that i can have a fixed income without any concrete labor obligations"

(trilema) mircea_popescu: o hey, check it out zx2c4 ! leisure works!
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 i'm sorry, i got confused. " this scandal is why socrates didn't even fucking want plato's disgusting silver. and now think -- that for his great merits, socrates was in fact given by the city "2000 btc"" is what i meant.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 so i take it you're familiar with history as retold by the esl : how socrates died, and how plato did not die.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 but you are aware how the economics of either greek philosophy or jazz music worked irl ?
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 so where's the 500 rembrandts ? (do you know the reference ?)
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 that's the same thing.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 looky, the only reason you want "an infinity of monyz" is "so that i don't have to tihnk of monyz anymore", which is simply the way you've rephrased "so i can be stupid with impunity" in a way to meet your blindspots.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 this certainty is borne out of nothing in particular. i've been sitting here for many years, watching many kinds and sorts of people getting power beyond their means.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 no, because you'd do something stupid.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 you'd be terribly worse off, and so would be the bitcoin ecosystem.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 understand, this self-flattering notion that you're in control is bunk. you're in no position to be in control in that sense. all that you're filtering for by that mechanism is "bullshit deal i don't comprehend". which... of course you would be.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 it relates specifically to the "which is why real funding for wireguard would be so much better". no, it wouldn 't be. you'd just end up trapped in some sort of bullshit deal.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 it's more generally about how the whole sucker business works.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 how's that work out btw ? i vaguely considered it for eulora but never actually bothered to push the point.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 you pretty much work alone on the thing, don;t you ?
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 i don't get it, you just got a coin, should last you a while neh ?
(trilema) BingoBoingo: zx2c4: You spoke a lot yesterday, but neglected an important question: Who is your daddy and what does he do?
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 talk to me here plox.
(trilema) a111: Logged on 2018-04-12 17:27 mircea_popescu: zx2c4 the good news is that i am now finally in a position to explain what EXACTLY is meant by "terrorist" : that feeling in http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-12#1797417 when shit keeps coming and coming and coming up. what is it, if not spiritual terror ?
(trilema) a111: Logged on 2018-04-13 00:42 zx2c4: spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-12#1797801 tamarin (and cryptoverif and proverif) spit out the proof too. tamarin has a nice mode that will draw diagrams and flow charts too to make it easier to digest the proofs. people even have scripts to convert the output into latex in case you want an academic paper for free...
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 specifically for the "empty room" problem he brought up. do you follow the logic there ?
(trilema) a111: Logged on 2018-04-12 20:20 spyked: zx2c4, I've been looking over the tamarin protocol verification paper and I'm curious, what does "symbolic verification" mean? also, what's the thing's output? is it just a "yes, properties hold" or does it also output the proof?
(trilema) zx2c4: mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-12#1797528 http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-12#1797506 -- in case you're interested in the ecc stuff more, the formally verified fiat and hacl implementations are not the only ones we have. we also have constant time accelerated x86 adx and bmi2 implementations https://git.zx2c4.com/WireGuard/tree/src/crypto/curve25519-x86_64.h and also constant time accelerated arm neon implementations

(trilema) a111: Logged on 2018-04-12 16:15 zx2c4: shape packing?
(trilema) a111: Logged on 2018-04-12 16:13 zx2c4: but even hardness of factoring... how hard is this actually? what number theoretic advances are right around the corner?
(trilema) a111: Logged on 2018-04-12 16:12 zx2c4: things like RSA boil down to number theory problems. but that's in a sense scarier than the set of problems that good block ciphers tend to boil down to. because it means that those primitives have lots of _structure_, and generally structure is something that can be exploited. just look at all the amazing and fantastic attacks on things with structure. so just boiling down to a [currently considered] "hard problem" doesn't provide as much solace
(trilema) a111: Logged on 2018-04-12 15:57 zx2c4: https://א.cc/wrlf5K8I voila
(trilema) a111: Logged on 2018-04-12 15:48 zx2c4: our two x25519 C implementations (32bit and 64bit) are actually generated by theorem proving software, so that we're sure they dont contain any errors
(trilema) ckang: hey nice glad to see zx2c4 made it in
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: you can come back any time, you have voice now.
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 and the good news is, linus permitted ada modules before.
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: there is some quite 'fascist' compile-time checking. most noobs to the lang, spend a week or so getting their proggy to even build.
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: performance is difficult to compare; if you remove various safeguards, you get ~same binary as equiv c proggy would have produced on same ver of gcc.
(trilema) a111: Logged on 2018-04-12 17:20 zx2c4: you guys have invented lots of things here

(trilema) mircea_popescu: could you guess, zx2c4 , why we would favour ada for finnicy work such as crypto libs ?
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4, mircea_popescu : it is quite trivial to build a kernel mod with gnat
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 you ever used ada ?
(trilema) asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: zx2c4's thing ? nope, notyet
(trilema) asciilifeform: zx2c4: this isn't v per se tho, it is a graphical viewer for same
(trilema) mircea_popescu: zx2c4 is this constant time ecc implementation on display somewhere btw ? i don't think i ever saw one before.
