These were just a selection of quotes that looked good on the web site, particularly the "GREAT JOB!" quote. That's kind of nice to see.

Yes, I agree that TLS provides replay protection on a suitably reliable network. Don’t know about DTLS or QUIC but I will look further into these. We didn’t really look to much at …

Thanks for the detailed response. I understand the need to see inside the technology to understand how and why it works. Some of our technology is being patented, so it will be pub…

Most people leave physics because there are no career opportunities. The glut of Ph.D. scientists in the US is the dirty little secret of academia that is reinforced by official ag…

Yes, but the packet replay protection is due to the sequence number of the packet that happens after the session is established. BTW, our technology uses pre-shared keys.

You bring up many valid points. I won’t say much about crypto at this point other than we plan on having FIPS-140-2 certified crypto in the near future. Yes, we are using a new pro…

Can my post get "unflagged" now?

Great comments. 1. See my reply to theamk above 2. The padding is good, but it needs to be the exact same size for all packets, which implies always using the biggest size. 3. See …

Good points. The port number typically indicates a service that is publicly known and repeatable. This is leaked information, as each service will have a unique port number. The IP…

BTW, why did you flag this post with out giving me a chance to reply?

Great question. Some issues with ZeroMQ: It uses TCP/IP which has security issues that can lead to resource exhaustion. The SYN is sent but the sender never acknowledges the reply,…

Thanks. We built it ourselves. We’re not web developers. We just wanted to get info out there. If we get major funding, we’ll spend big on a fancy website.

Yes, we have found that the set of Internet Protocols were designed before the kind of security we expect today were appreciated. You are correct that we are not professional crypt…

Great comment. The kinds of industrial controls that you mention are the long-term goal for the technology. We are working on a gateway adapter for some of the most common industri…

Thanks for your thoughtful comments. Yes, I can understand your skepticism, and that is a good sign that you don’t believe whatever folks are just saying. That is particularly good…

I agree with some of the other's comments that time is the most valuable asset. Be productive! Also: 1) Most of the advice that you find online is not really applicable. I like the…
