mircea_popescu: fromphuctor you can export
them and check yourself.
then no need
to assume anything.
fromphuctor: So my SSH keys are probably not compromised, assuming my cryptography software wasn't broken by
the government.
mircea_popescu: GyrosGeier dpaste what you're
trying
to stick in, maybe.
GyrosGeier: Error: Was
that really a GPG public key?
Try again.
GyrosGeier: is
there any restriction on what keys are accepted?
fromphuctor: Why were
these keys so easy
to crack? Were
they due
to faulty implementations of
the cryptosystem?
GyrosGeier: I'm
trying
to submit my key, but keep getting an error
mircea_popescu: fromphuctor
that is last week's news.
this week's news is
that ACTUAL KEYS were cracked.
fromphuctor: Okay. So apparently a lot of people messed up
their cryptography, and had non-prime exponents (or very small primes) for some weird reason.
fromphuctor: Wouldn't a bigger prime exponent be more difficult for an adversary
to crack?
fromphuctor: Okay. So
the size of
the prime number does not matter
that much for
the security of
the cipher as
the entrophy source.
mircea_popescu: in fact... 65537 makes SUCH a good e, not using it is
triple-eyebrow raising.
mircea_popescu: (note
that e is almost everywhere 65537, which is both prime and cheap.)
mircea_popescu: fromphuctor it's not
that hard
to find prime numbers. in general, rsa keys should be seeded from a good entropy source.
gabriel_laddel: Anyways, I'm a bit busy atm, have not been able
to get
the full masamune replication working, which is irritating. but I do have customers waiting on me, which is exciting.
fromphuctor: How are
these prime numbers chosen? I understand it is very hard
to find prime numbers.
fromphuctor: What does it mean whe
the public exponent is not prime?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, according
to amazon,
trilema is biggest in japan.
mircea_popescu: i suppose within a few hours it makes
the front page (again) and
then it gets replaced with an "official science" replacement...
mircea_popescu: yeah but
trb really doesn't load worth
the mention. especially if caught up.
mircea_popescu: i
think her mommy had her with a constrictor snake and she had a square bone in her neck.
mircea_popescu: hey, one of
the best natural cocksuckers i ever encountered was a
that-expert.
mircea_popescu: at
this rate you'll end up a
traffic analytics expert :D
mircea_popescu: it's not even irc, what is it, some sort of java
thing ?
mircea_popescu: check
that out, stackoverflow got
this datamining of users down
to a fine art huh.
Birdman: Fellow eulorian, was around b-a sometimes
too
Birdman: Hello, im just here
to read
mircea_popescu: there's millions of
them buzzing and
the miracle of
the first secure computer has yet
to be seen.
mircea_popescu: Known Shared Factors: 284648957608675 1118385754444484075 << yeah i guess once a modulus starts showing
these, readily reduced by intertested reader.
