asciilifeform: i get it, mircea_popescu reeeeeally loves the repudiability thing, but you gotta be careful not to make a cannon that shoots in ALL directions simultaneously. someone has to get privileged knowledge of the true J' or you are cryptodead.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what means 'one message' ?
asciilifeform: recall, if rsa died, mircea_popescu cannot simply pgp the J' to his current circle of friends.
asciilifeform: this'd be handy if mircea_popescu had otp set up in advance with the people he intends to give the actual J' to
asciilifeform: how does mircea_popescu retain sole knowledge of the private key of J ?
asciilifeform: ok, can haz algo? i found a string J, which is a public key for an asymmetric cryptosystem, that purports to belong to mircea_popescu, and published after the rsacalypse. what do i do with it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but how do i verify that J belongs to mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i get that part
asciilifeform: though i am still unclear on how mircea_popescu's verification works
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: here's the lethal boojum: enemy knows privkey.K at t2 and if he can get to his keyboard before you get to yours, you're dead
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this works if your K is known in advance
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu et al : see if you can find a simpler variant.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: are you familiar with real-life neutron tube ? didja think it is ~directed~ ?!
asciilifeform: if he'd mentioned those, mircea_popescu would see it for the redmercury sprayjob it was.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: eh you're looking at the nato snow job
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-27: [13:14:42] <asciilifeform> ACTION woke up from dream where we had 4th conf. this time, at mircea_popescu's house, which turned out to be a gigantic repurposed office park, wunderwaffen in every room, even the nazi 'Glocke' neutron generator; we sat in a great hall and drank mead and thanked odin for the gift of valour; then went to the tank room and each pulled gigantic sea

a111: Logged on 2016-09-23 14:20 mircea_popescu: actually since you brought it up it reminded me of vague discussion, so let's make it explicit. mod6 asciilifeform i dunno how practical it is yet, but eventually trb block mechanics will have to be expanded to memory datastore, so that it holds the current blk000n it's working on in ram and dumps it to disk only when full. MUCH easier to cache a disk with no writes on it.
