@conor64 It is a disgrace that the people who authorized torture haven’t been convicted and sentenced, I agree.

@justintroutman I’m at: AEAD if there’s an @agl__ - class implementation, GC if you have to code it yourself.

@marshray @matthew_d_green It’s pretty obviously the comms for the Mars rover.

I cued the dream sequence wavy blur effect and fixed my twitter config. Thanks everyone for putting up with me for these two trying days.

@marshray @dakami @rantyben I am probably getting this one confused (the 2 primes 1 run thing was clever so it sticks out in my mind)

Thomas H. Ptacek ‏@tqbf 8h

@marshray @dakami @rantyben IIRC (but maybe not) this was the one where they did a single primegen run and picked out two primes from it.

@marshray @rantyben @dakami Wasn’t that a p & q generated from one single run of Miller-Rabin?

@tobinbaker “Just use /dev/urandom”.

@benpottier That drink is freaking awesome.

@dakami @rantyben Debian didn’t break devrandom; they broke the userland OpenSSL CSPRNG.

@ortegaalfredo @rantyben @dakami No, that’s not what I’m saying.

Thomas H. Ptacek ‏@tqbf 9h

@dakami @rantyben no.

@bramcohen @matthew_d_green Not just in the encoding step of the encryption layer! Obvious, but not to me, and neat to think about.

Thomas H. Ptacek ‏@tqbf 9h

@bramcohen @matthew_d_green The most interesting/compelling/profound bit to me is how that oracle might be at any layer of the stack.

@rantyben Seriously read Tom Pornin’s bit about this on Stack Exchange. Pornin 10x smarter than I am about this stuff.

@dakami @mwgamera @areuugee Handling multiple processes is another nice feature of /dev/random.
