mircea_popescu: ironically, they're now seeing themselves forced to migrate back to
rsa ; because ecc shit is weak.
fromphuctor: do u think US NIST is pushing ECC instead of
RSA because they cannot crack
RSA ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, the decade intervening has meanwhile totally fucked them. they're moving off ecc now in a hurry, and their dilemma is "go back to
rsa or beg alf for c-s."
jurov: oh, how comes no one is doing vanity
rsa keys generation already?
mircea_popescu: pity usagi is not here to generate some keys for later. iirc he had a service to generate long
rsa keys for people.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-05 01:04 mircea_popescu: right. so the new standard for a
rsa key is (e, N, userstring), and everyone's expected to produce THAT.
mircea_popescu: anyway, is it a mere coincidence that some derp posing as a "free journalist" in berlin is the usg point man for the
rsa diddling efforts ?
mircea_popescu: right. so the new standard for a
rsa key is (e, N, userstring), and everyone's expected to produce THAT.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so is the logical thing here to just proclaim "
rsa key, as per the republic, is a e, N, string tripled" and then, jurov can dump to THAT format and you'll import from that format later ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose this really ends up in a discussion of "we need a new format for
rsa keys", doesn't it.
punkman: asciilifeform: did you say something about recovering pubkeys from
rsa signatures in the past?
mircea_popescu: no he didn't. he didn't get as far as removing the dsa/ecc keys out of the sks dump to get a proper count of
rsa moduli
mircea_popescu: so isn't this pretty much 99% of bignum->
rsa in pgp format ?
mircea_popescu: PGencode.js particularily interesting i thought as it really takes base64 pubkey and puts it through
rsa.js
fromphuctor___: thanks... would the phuctor checker work with non PGP keys, if i correctly converted an
RSA key to the required format?
mircea_popescu: many
rsa implementations, especially for the closed source walled gardens, are miserable indeed.
mircea_popescu: steffen you gotta make sure your pgp is actual protocol-strength
rsa not merely promise-strength
rsa tho.
mircea_popescu: it would appear you don't actually understand how
rsa works ?
mircea_popescu: alrighty. in the meanwhile, you understand how
rsa works ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you'll have to add verbiage explaining to the goodfolk that
rsa keys specifically and uniquely are at issue ; somehow it's not obvious dsa/ecc/elgamaletc dun work.
mircea_popescu: fromphuctor it's not that hard to find prime numbers. in general,
rsa keys should be seeded from a good entropy source.
