asciilifeform: diana_coman: how do you picture this looking in practice ? variable-length keys ?☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: elaborate re 'decide for self' plox
asciilifeform: 2s modexp, btw, is a ~10-20min keygen time.
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform makes a general-purpose numbertheoretical item, broader than 'here is modexp' )
asciilifeform: me -- yes. but my understanding was that diana_coman needed only rsa.
asciilifeform: let's see who has usable rsatron first, asciilifeform or diana_coman ...
asciilifeform: incidentally ~95% of the work ffa does in modexp, now, is multiplication. which means that there is further 20-25% speedup waiting to be had when i get bernsteinian optimization for karatsuba ( haven't yet figured it out, he buried it deep in a paper , as if he were an alchemist, quite cryptically ) and another 10-20% optimization if we move to unrolled comba ( see august thread. )
asciilifeform: so right now every 8192b mod 4096b op ( of which 4096b modexp has 4096*2==8192 ) costs 2 8192b*8192b -> 16384 mul's and a few subs. which still beats the living shit out of knuthian div.
asciilifeform: ( not to mention did not yet even try to use apeloyee's secret-normalization method : instead we use a completely unshifted dividend , and cut it in the end)
asciilifeform: mod6: this is the most brutal possible method that can still be called barrett : didn't even make use yet of the fact that we only want the upper halves of the mul results
asciilifeform: trinque you can replicate this now, just replace your modexp with the one seen here.
asciilifeform: ( barrett with 8192b barretoids, i.e. 16384bit mult via ordinary symmetric karatsuba with simple brutal slice , rather than apeloyee's shift )
asciilifeform: servers are a wk or so from ready-to-recrate ( burn-in testing, gentooization ) and will be shipped via whatever carrier phf` comes up with
asciilifeform: absolutely, otherwise asteroid will fall on asciilifeform much faster than expected
asciilifeform: asciilifeform will be , if plan worx, equipped to usd/rubleize/etc btc in necessary qties, before november
asciilifeform: asciilifeform prepared a quantity of servers, each approx. similar to spec of dulap-II ; these will be colocated, under the banner of s.nsa, and a certain number leased to folx in l1 .
asciilifeform: soooo since mircea_popescu already broke the radio silence, i will put on record :
asciilifeform: folx queuing up again, supposedly, to buy the littleblackrifle
asciilifeform: 'don't run from sniper, you'll just die tired' (tm)(r)
asciilifeform: recalls a funny incident in early 2000s when some d00d actually went around sniping in washington . locals went apeshit, you could see people on streets walk in zigzags, children kept at home, etc
asciilifeform: sniper can only dream of the 'packed train' target tho.
asciilifeform suggests this, or equivalent, terminology. using v - be specific plox re what you pressed, makes it possible to reason meaningfully re eggogs later
