asciilifeform: and the ( let's charitably suppose something other than plain wrecking ) motivation for the very notion, was 'defense against key substitution' which is really an attempt to get around the need for wot
asciilifeform: it made for a monumental pile of dysfunctional moving parts.
asciilifeform: rright, recall how (evidently) some pgptron, somewhere, was quite satisfied with 'piltdown man' signatures, ripped out of other keys
asciilifeform: also the term 'self signature' as used in kochiana/rfc2440/4880 world , is misleading : if all that were signed were a modulus, one could trivially produce 'self sig' for any modulus/exponent that satisfy the rsa equation, incl. ones generated on the spot. 'self sig' in gpg world is simply attempt to tie commentstrings to keys.
asciilifeform: i did not cite $thread in the american judge 'we already precedented!11' sense, but in 'let's reread'
asciilifeform: ( i do not know how precisely jurov did it, but can think of several ways )
asciilifeform: spyked: the only even modestly difficult part of the puzzle, afaik, is to enumerate the user set.
asciilifeform: spyked: lemme know if you have any problem.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-11#1812151 << iirc we had the thread; nonprime exponent is cryptologically equivalent to using the smallest prime factor of same as the exponent; the bits set in excess of this, simply help timing/radio/DPA attack to succeed☝︎
asciilifeform: nao ! at some point i'ma rewrite it. again. and build it around 'naked' rsa moduli, and with variant types of indices, etc. but i have nfi when i will get a chance to do this.☟︎
asciilifeform: additionally, the difficulty of keying in random garbage and having it show up as 'key', has worked to date as primitive, yet 100% effective, spam control.☟︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-11#1812141 << phuctor was written very tightly around indexing pgp keys, and demands that all keys be indexable in the same ways ( by e.g. gpg-compat fingerprint ) . additionally , it demands that all keys have a human-readable legend, and ssh key format does not give any field for such.☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: !Q later tell spyked this script takes the format used in jurov's 'phathub' 2016 collection, and produces set of phuctor-compatible keys. do not forget to specify 'legend', the user string, to identify precisely what the key is, otherwise it will remain a mystery forever to reader
asciilifeform: 'Lt. j.g. Sarah Coppock's job was to ensure safe navigation of the USS Fitzgerald. On June 17, 2017, she was "derelict in the performance of those duties," resulting in the deaths of seven sailors, according to the single charge she faced Tuesday.' << somebody give this chix order of lenin.
asciilifeform: yea loox like old crapola with rubbish added as pill for idsen
asciilifeform: 'Current fortran code to calculate neutron skin thicknesses with a variety of NEDF and carry out bootstrap analysis' << notbad ( from luserlist )
asciilifeform: ^ if anyobody ( ... douchebag ? ) knows for what ^ is , plox to write in
asciilifeform: ^ either 0day or custom, 0 googlehits
asciilifeform: possibly later on we should lay it out here.
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu i'm beginning to think that my proof is wrong, and it gotta be 3 2/3-sized segments, rather than 4 1/2-sized , to work.
