How does that not compromise my secret key?" Then I read more.Quote from: Shannon on July 28, 2012, 09:39 amQuote from: LouisCyphre on July 28, 2012, 09:14 amQuote from: pine on July 28, 2012, 06:31 amSure, but the SpeakEasy Project has led the way, so that's an inspiration:http://xqz3u5drneuzhaeo.onion/users/anonymousanon/sfp/forum.html It certainly looks interesting, but I'd have to go through it in a little more detail and I don't have that kind of time right now. It'll have to wait at least a month or two.that design document is VERY old, and was rejected by security experts.Good to know.Quote from: Shannon on July 28, 2012, 09:39 amthere were several iterations after that such as http://xqz3u5drneuzhaeo.onion/users/se3/ which were also rejected.Noted. Also good to know.Quote from: Shannon on July 28, 2012, 09:39 ami think the entire project is dead for other reasons though, the person who's made it his life's work to finish this told me on this board before that he thinks that nobody in the online drug scene has the skills to finish this, and that it should be designed by security professionals for all of mankind, not by drug vendors for only other drug vendorsI agree completely. That's essentially why I suggested earlier in this thread that another reason for creating it would be needed (e.g. human rights) so that it could be developed on the clearnet and tap into the knowledge available to the wider world.Quote from: Shannon on July 28, 2012, 09:39 amQuoteIn short, there is something to be said for ignorance, arrogance even. Look at the Tor Project. Those guys surely didn't have a fucking clue what they were facing with respect to the social/political ramifications when they started that project for sure.arma was an nsa agent, i'm sure he knew what he was doing ;)Heh. COMSEC or COMINT? ;)
