not a million miles from
->I think you'd still only have a solution which is workable against a very limited set of adversaries - namely, the ones who play by the rules, more or less.
which is exactly why i said "a bit strawman"
perhaps where we differ is you think encryption only keeps information safe from those who play by the rules?
it seems it was 2013 the last time they were shouting about rising impact factors.
losing all of germany will certainly hit the various if hard.
currently, amd does terribly in pretty much every measure. absolute performance, performance per $, throughput. absolutely anything that matters.
There are some promoted intel chips that are worse.
but the only thing amd have been doing well at in recent years is hyperbole with a healthy dose of shilling. So i cant disagree with anyone on here that wont believe anything they say until they see it.
around this time last year we had
"This is too limited because it doesnt help people taking the camera"
when the whole problem has nothing to do with taking the camera and everything to do with what happens afterwards.
the equivelent to "there is no point in encrypting your banking transactions because it wont stop someone stealing your wallet on the street"
-> typical strawman.
bit strawman?
what they are asking for isn't technically difficult or even that expensive to develop.
the problem these guys are facing is not the encounter.
its that the images and video can incriminate and cause repercussions for people not at the scene but stored on the camera.
such as those guys with you ak47s you are complaining about who were helping the journalist get their story of governmental abuse of power.
or that police officer confessing his coworkers corruption.
at least that is probably what trump has been telling himself at night since everyone turned him down to perform at his inauguration speech.
for everyone else. kinda a big incentive.
i think it would even do to have it done "offline" - i.e. any image/audio/video older than a few minutes gets encrypted and can only be decrypted at another location.
that should also be an optional mode. so you can have lots of wildlife photos and pictures of cute cats for plausible deniability.
noob alert :p
less performance than a $133 intel e5 2650
and neither are worth buying today.
I used to only buy AMD. Im not exactly sure where they are up to now (probably about 8 years if not more since I touched them)
but i definately remember the bulldozer hype and subsequent flop. lies about the number of cores and other things that just made me say "my computing is to important to my life to play that game".
I was also privy over the years to some test builds of machines including head to head amd vs intel. it is truly painful to say that not only were they often more expensive (new) for the performance, they were also horribly unreliable, pausing, and doing all sorts of stuff that made us sad.
hope thats changed, but saying there is any similarity between the current in use intel vs amd range is very far from the mark.
Ive noticed the economist has a habit of playing policy games.
In that case they publish nonsense to further certain policy aims.
But often its well researched unbiased material.
not that easy to tell the difference.
but infinately better than the junk put out by the likes of the bbc fox cnn times etc.
so they sit, they listen, then do what exactly?
Someone has to read through the material, decipher it, translate it, interpret it. and how exactly do you act on it?
this sounds more like an attempt to taint the popcorn time name rather than real malware.
its also only really a problem for americans. since the us government is paying to ensure other countries governments cant interfer with free communication.
its a matter of opinion wether they also managed to gain the ability to interfere with free communication themselves.
but since the "Next best alternative" is ssl/tls.
kinda a moot point.
Sticking "enterprise" on the box will not make enterprise pay 42c per gig for less performance.
42c per gig is VERY expensive, more than 10 times the price of 15k SAS at volume. SSDs - while I didn't say "are not used" in enterprise - are "generally" not used. As in, for every $10mill enterprise spends on SAS drives, they spend maybe a few hundred thou on SSD.
The market for SSDs is elsewhere.
googles to check. YUP http://www.anandtech.com/show/10348/q1-2016-market-trends-ss... http://www.anandtech.com/show/10098/market-views-2015-hard-d... WD alone ships 3 times more enterprise HDD than the entire enterprise SSD market. roughly speaking Enterprise HDD is about the same size as the entire SSD market.
My pissy comes from HN becoming more and more "pimp my company/product" and downvote to hell anyone remotely critical, with less "news about hacking".
so you kinda missed the point.
and when the hardware they plug into is a sas interface, they arent going to be buying them either.
seriously, getting a bit tired of the immaturity and shilly nonsense on here.
check any rack machine from cisco, dell or any of the other big enterprise suppliers (of which intel is an oem, they dont really deal with the likes of hsbc or shell corporation) and they all come with sas interface for storage.
enterprise means "more than 10000 employees".
you do have dedicated support personel from your supplier.
intels "data center range" definately isnt enterprise imho. enterprises still not stupid enough to go anywhere near the cloud.
Enterprise servers are mostly sas interfaces. These are sata, which is mostly home and soho plus a few startups running on a shoe string (afaik)
Be interesting to see how they compare with these guys:
http://techreport.com/review/27436/the-ssd-endurance-experim...
and, afaik, for enterprise, sas hdd still leads ssd in performance price and endurance.
Radio signals below 50 kHz are capable of penetrating ocean depths to approximately 200 metres, the longer the wavelength, the deeper. The British, German, Indian, Russian, Swedish, United States [3] and possibly other navies communicate with submarines on these frequencies.
->That requires min 100khz sample rate.
What's new this time is the pricing model. It used to be we could run what we wanted on our own hardware on our own time. SaaS is new, mostly impossible to pirate (hacking AWS keys aside), and priced to make your eyes water.
padding -> irrelevent to an RSA public key, everyone has to know the exact modulus and product, even the bad guys (although I recommend keeping public keys relatively secret)
timing -> irrelevent to an RSA public key, there is nothing you can get from how long it takes to decrypt or encrypt even 1024 bits of data (which is more than most impliementations even send), sometimes the exact same data will take 1ms, sometimes 100ms, it depends what else the machine is doing at the time.
All the others are about making the effort required greater than the will to get there in favor of usability.
All the standard libraries stop at "miniscule effort for a state".
And states aren't even "the big boys" anymore.
Rather than putting the rest of us at risk by putting zero value on the security of anything you make and guessing someone [a spook] will do it for you, why dont you recommend everyone takes some time out to at least learn the basics.
Yes, there are several "mines" you need to be wary of.
But they all pale into insignificance compared to linking openssl and thinking you are done.
and if you need json, plenty of xml to json convertors knocking around.
eh.
RSA is a simple formula. takes a bit of fiddling and skill to get BigIntegers working. but anyone who passed highschool algebra could roll their own. in fact many high schools even set it as homework.
timing attacks you say. erm, not remotely connected.
the main problems included being actually very hard to understand visually, very ugly, and subject to all sorts of edge case errors when running. basically easier to write code then compile uml from that for anyone crazy enough to want it.
the crux of the problems is verbosity. Once systems start to get to a reasonable level of complexity the uml diagrams can cover the walls of a large room.
vs 1 page of a4 for pseudocode.
