    I can’t tell if the model card is written by AI or a parody of AI writing…

    I think at minimum you would need to understand which theorems you want to prove about your code, and how to express those in Lean. Otherwise you won’t be able to verify the output…

    This is really a self inflicted problem. If you host your backend on the same origin as your frontend (using a reverse proxy) you don’t need CORS at all and you can use the vanilla…

    What is your definition of faster to implement? Is it producing a plausible implementation, or is it faster at producing a correct and high quality implementation? Are you includin…

    With a capable static analyzer that is not true. In many common cases they can deduce the possible ranges of values based on branching checks along the data flow path, and if that …

    If you say you need the data for security reasons that’s all well and good, but then you can only use the data for that specific purpose. So you cannot suddenly start using it for …

    Also, I gave the link to the appendix because there was a specific question about Argon2 parameters. For general developer audiences, they need to look at the standard itself which…

    Which one would you recommend instead? Referring dev teams to NIST standards or the like doesn’t work well in my experience.

    Yes it’s an audit checklist for when you need to know specifically what to use and with which parameters. It’s unfortunate if there are mistakes in there. The people at OWASP would…

    Can you give some examples of such commonly used libraries for languages like Java / C# / C++? In my experience there are not many libraries like Google Tink around, and they are n…

    Comment #45671740

    Yes I fully agree. I’m a big fan of libraries like Google Tink that make you pick a use case and use the best implementation for that use case with built in crypto agility. Most cr…

    The OWASP ASVS appendix on Cryptography is one of the best and concise resources I know for this kind of thing: https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS/blob/master/5.0/en/0x92-Append...

    If the program has access to the credential, and the program is running on your computer, you also have access to the credential no matter how they try to obfuscate it. What the ga…

    A dark mode would be nice.
