Huh, okay. I will try to clarify, apologies if I’m being incoherent. The argument I’m making is that the evidence doesn’t support your original claim or your follow up ask for a se…

That isn’t a fair summary but I take your point. I pointed out two specific cryptographic backdoors. One follows from your premise - a regular person can’t just bust Dual EC becaus…

Yeah! Lesson learned. Thanks for hearing me about my intentions though, I appreciate it and wow, third rail touched!

This comment is great and gets to the heart of the dispute. Thanks for making it. I have spoken with one of the authors who found it and he did not dismiss it, so I don’t know why …

It’s all good. I take it respectfully. Let me try again and I mean this entirely in good faith. I don’t think you’re an NSA shill as I think my other comments were taken by random …

My words included two options, one of which includes those words — and I disowned the first option. Please read it again and then read his comment again. Selective quoting won’t ch…

The point is that if the RNG didn’t artificially add elliptic curves in the form of a back door, even a CRQC wouldn’t be able to break the RNG. Grover can be assumed to reduce the …

At the time some cryptographers said it looked like a backdoor and they were largely dismissed by the public until Snowden related evidence came to light. Further reporting exposed…

I did not intend, nor do I think I called the parent an NSA shill. If it comes across as that, I apologize. The parent clearly says that it is hard to get a bead on what he is argu…

I’m saying this in response to the parents claim of it being hard to get a bead on what he is arguing. I’m answering that as two possible ways to read it and I emphasize the latter…

I respectfully disagree. It certainly isn’t intended as an insult! One looks like astroturfing performed without a valid basis against cited examples shared in good faith, the othe…

Prudence sometimes looks like paranoia. The parallel that matters is that NSA is documented as being inclined to design, allow, and promote backdoors like Dual EC to be standardize…

This is a very reasonable take. The people at NIST are in a bind. Many of them are good people with positive intentions, but they cannot speak freely about NSA and they say so open…

NSA is regularly claimed to be the employer of the largest number of mathematicians in the world. The reason we don’t know about the NSA analysis is that the law doesn’t require NS…

I am explaining that I see two options and I pick the second in good faith. I believe I am participating according to the rules, or at least I am attempting to do so in good faith.…

I followed it and was trying to point out that your question was imprecise.

On what basis do you make that claim? It appears that you’re saying that PX-1000cr isn’t an example NSA backdoor or that the article breaking the cipher in the PX1000cr is incorrec…

If a cryptographically relevant quantum computer is built - then everyone with a CRQC can recover the secret key for the Q parameter. Not a very good NOBUS plan if CRQC are expecte…

What is the private key? It is a private key probably still stored in a hardware module controlled by NSA CES, isn’t it? This isn’t a problem: Just ask for decrypts by the usual FI…
