Right well I suppose I can see this as a system of routing anonymously to a key. I was just wondering about using tor ostensibly as a network interface module and I suppose it could be compiled as a library elf and other applications can be made for working with certain aspects of tor and passing s

Okay, a little more grounded, about the Utah datacenter in 2012: "The NSA project now aims to break the "exaflop barrier" by building a supercomputer a hundred times faster than the fastest existing today, the Japanese "K Computer." That code-breaking system is projected to use 200 megawatts of po

Now whether or not all of this power consumption is a coverup for the quantum capibilities of the NSA is a matter of speculation, but the fact of the matter is they are breaking encryption and they did spend $2 billion on a datacenter for that sole purpose. On Mon, May 28, 2018 at 11:04 PM, Kevin

S7r I generally agree with you there. There is no evidence that it has been broken. Thus we can only go by what these agencies are saying or hinting about their capabilities. I certainly don't think that in this case it is required and must negotiate with post quantum cryptography, only that as a f
