verisimilitude: I'll mention
this, regarding that earlier RSA discussion. I'm not experienced enough to judge this article. Be forewarned it's written by a furry, and he may visit this channel, since he checks his referrers for just this.
verisimilitude: He does recommend against using RSA, where possible, and repeats that nonsense about not writing cryptographic code at all.

2020-05-25 05:15:47: if i liked that code, i would have just released the vpatch immediately with performance benchmark, so i agree with 'case against'. i will look into improving the error reporting code -- this should be possible (with slightly more code in v.sh), though the precise loop analysis would take approximately the same amount of ada code as went into that experimental vpatch.
verisimilitude: It's good to know I correctly figured the cryptography article was mistaken, although that's a very safe guess for any such article.
verisimilitude: It's bewildering how anyone can see what happened with OpenSSL and still think ``Don't roll your own crypto.'' is good advice. At least many implementations would have many different flaws, if none were perfect.
snsabot: (trilema) 2018-05-04 asciilifeform: zx2c4: your null hypothesis is defective.
verisimilitude: Given what I know about computing, most people with experience really don't.
verisimilitude: I agree that part is obviously malicious advice, yes, although plenty of idiots probably think it's good advice.
verisimilitude: Most people, when pressed, would probably claim they don't really need encryption, but then why play pretend. My connection to Freenode isn't encrypted, yet I've yet to see this abused.
verisimilitude: I'm familiar with this perspective, and see no reason to disagree with it, yes.
verisimilitude: I should get around to forging a more reliable PGP key this year, and sign it with what I've already registered.
