the regulations don't apply to Microsoft apparently, because even goddamn Bing has been better at it than Google for years now.
as far as I can tell, they're neither inventing their own algorithms nor implementing existing algorithms from scratch. that's what "Don't roll your own crypto" supposed to mean, not "just use Bitlocker"
most people are under the impression that they own the things they've paid for, and the inevitable rug pulls always take them by surprise.
rejecting the bullshit rules of rent-seeking parasites would be a more worthy principle to pursuit.
everything else is a meme
when
8 character long alphanumeric lowercase password: (26+10)**8 = 208827064576 possible passwords. 11000010011111000100000010000100000000 in binary = 38 bits of entropy
20 character long upper+lower+numeric+other ASCII password: (26+26+10+32)**20 = 2901062411314618233730627546741369470976. 132 bits of entropy
128 bits of entropy is considered to be enough for all purposes
lol. lmao even
I do vaguely recall encountering some problem I didn't expect when I was making a tool contained in a local html file, but I dont remember which browser I was using at the time
has there ever been an issue that made WebCrypto produce invalid ciphertexts/hashes/PBKDF output?
>Some browsers disable window.crypto on local files and non-TLS servers
which ones do that?
the people and entities in power
>what's the mechanism against that?
disarming the population
we will eventually get everything they have in NK/China/Russia/Iran, under a thin veneer of being done for our own good and accompanied by a mass media campaign that will convince a sizeable population of useful idiots to accept it all. the venerable western democracies hate and fear dissent as much as those loathsome dictators do
crypto will live on. but the "industry" of money people parasitising on it will inevitably die. and that's a good thing
