Rescorla on Standards

2008-01-24 19:28:52.599836+01 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

Eric Rescorla, on a roll:

Steve Burnett is giving an intro to crypto talk in which he explains that "cryptography is about turning sensitive data into gibberish in such a way that you can get the sensitive data back from the gibberish".

My observation: "This differs from standardization, where you can't get the sensitive data back from the gibberish."

You ought to consider issuing a revised edition of Stan Kelly-Bootles The Devils DP Dictionary which was formulated along the lines of the original Devils Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
