andy9775··on Apple Explains How Secure iMessage Is
Excuse me if this sounds ignorant as I am not a security expert, but isn't there a flaw in using a public key for continuous messaging? Shouldn't public-private key crypto be used only to generate a symmetrical key? The system was originally designed for symmetrical key exchange no? Using it this way presents some flaw?
andy9775··on Are You A Typing Hacker? Prove It
Just played two rounds, not the best typist and got 40WPM. Only thing I would change is the addition of lives (must die three times and then the game restarts) and/or the ability to start from a previously achieved level. Other wise really fun.
andy9775··on FBI uses drones inside U.S. for spying, director says
Yes and the self driving car is operated within some sort of legal framework and for the time being has a driver. The law may likely include, at least for sometime, a provision that forces a human eye on the road before we allow anyone to jump in and go. Ultimately it comes down to operating within a set legal framework and having the appropriate licences and paperwork(warrants) in place. So while drones may be self flying there needs to be someone responsible and it must be done so with reason.
