mircea_popescu: nevertheless... i cant keep reading this

mircea_popescu: what is this crap.
mircea_popescu: "Because almost all of the cryptographic algorithms we use do not hold up to information-theoretic security. They can “only” offer computational security. The two exceptions that come to my mind are Shamir's Secret Sharing and the One-time pad. And while the first one may be a valid counterpoint (if you actually intend to use it), the latter is utterly impractical."
mircea_popescu: jurov well here we go "I believe that the “gold standard” for “true randomness” are quantum effects."

benkay: this is actually a good thing!
dignork: oh, wow, retract my last comment, I just looked into zip, they have a Mac version too, coded in LiveCode, neat.
Mats_cd03: better than vb6 i suppose
dexX7: the guy says "It was created in LiveCode, a tool for easy GUI programming, which actually stores a copy of the code encrypted inside of the executable. I essentially just used a debugger and traced through till I found the code in memory and dumped the section, copying and pasting the interesting parts into this post."
dignork: diametric, the "decompiled" proof seems to be bullshit: 'if platform() = "MacOS" then' in windows executable, really?

diametric: I always know theres something else I'm forgetting.
diametric: i can never seem to complete an order on digikey.
