diana_coman: I've been playing around with the keccak implementation from PeterL and it seems overall all right

diana_coman: if keeping the minimum of 2^2047 for primes, you can, for example, generate primes between 2^2047 and 2^2049, and start over if the modulus is unacceptable. not sure what minimum for p and q makes sense.

diana_coman: and re peterl's keccak implementation trouble is that thoroughly testing it looks atm as much work as writing a new one in the process anyway so whatever version ends up with tests and everything is the one that will make it into v too I would say
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman some bits of code, such as heavily linked against standard hash etc would normally take a zillion reimplementations rereads etc anyways.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman so what's your call, rather write as mpi branch or rather stand alone ?
mircea_popescu: ima have
diana_coman put the whole eulora crypto in vpatch form even if we're not yet advanced enough with the cleaning of codebase to use v properly.

diana_coman: I don't even know whether he tested it or how otherwise; also not sure if there isn't some way around using Strings.Unbounded

diana_coman: that being said, I can't quite see it being any *worse* than this affair with fixed size AND fixed top bits

diana_coman: apeloyee, if I understand that correctly basically the only way to plug that leak would be to give up on diddling p and q, including setting size; which would mean just get random pairs of primes until their product fits the desired number of bits for the key; obv this lands into the trouble of having one of them too small

diana_coman: I can't seem to find in the logs any discussion re duplex construction/duplexing the sponge i.e. keccak's authors own proposal of using keccak for authenticated encryption; did anyone look into this?
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman wanna gimme odds on wer making a working foxybot module ?

diana_coman: for the curious there are in fact 2 prolific-stamped documents describing pl2303 and pl2303x; pl2303x seems to be a sort of upgrade to 64bits but why couldn't it be properly identified as distinct I don't know
a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 00:58 asciilifeform: it's a pl2303 , ought to work ( though see
diana_coman 's recent thread , on certain egregiously braindamaged linuxen there is a bug )

diana_coman iirc the cobra had 80kb ? <- hmmm, iirc 58 keys but I can't say I'm 100% certain
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman is m-r upper-bounded by 1/4 ^ 12 ? or lower ?
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman do you have something idiotic like say ntp correcting your clock mid-stride maybe ?

diana_coman: nice write up!

diana_coman: asciilifeform> and you generally can't make massive reworks <- this yes, though I'd be surprised you wouldn't be able to agree with landlord; more like you'll go nuts trying to get what you want from builders, but that's a different story

diana_coman: go to public notary, what
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 15:08
diana_coman: ahahaha; logically it should be, yeah; but re "where to live" - you can buy a house in some village for a few thousands max, not exactly need bank either so dunno that being a huge trouble in itself; then again, each with their own problems to solve

diana_coman: asciilifeform, not really; former requires someone to go with you and say you can live in their house/flat etc

diana_coman: I'm sure it's not even the only citizenship for sale for that matter
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman they gave it up, and guess what ? it rebounded.

diana_coman: asciilifeform, iirc cyprus was selling citizenship and discounting it even; don't quite recall what was the last price though

diana_coman: iirc the "old centre" has been renovated during past few years and it looked ok, but it's relatively small; many of the relics of former glory have either been demolished long time ago or otherwise are left to crumble
