I actually can't stand most questions about black holes, they're kinda ridiculous with all that trying to apply Newtonian physics to special relativity
@Erik last time I went was for an empeg meet. No drugs (apart from alcohol) but we fired home made cannon, we used a homemade turbo to toast marshmallows, we flew drones - was all a bit geeky. Other than that, there's the shows...
E.g. finnish Pohjola bank uses one-time pads. I got first one through normal snailmail and I have gotten new ones when I visit the bank. One list has 350 entries and I need one to sign up and another for accepting the payment of bills. If the amount is larger (thousands of euros) the bank sends a...
@Gilles @Codes @Thomas Would stretching (with a KDF) a one-time password to the size of the message qualifies it as a one-time pad? I highly doubt that the answer is yes, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
@Erik Anne Frank museum, Heineken museum, sex museum, beautiful city suitable for cycling everywhere or taking canoe trips, day trips to seaside towns, madam tusauds wax museum and so much more
@TerryChia @deed02392 Another option is to volunteer in the first summit day for 4 hour and the second summit day for 4 hours, and you get a free ticket for everything.
I understand that the boundaries of this proposal overlap SuperUser and Security.StackExchange. But there are some considerable differences here.
The questions you can ask on SuperUser are the likes of "is this a virus?" and "how to get rid of this virus?".
Security.StackExchange is mostly focu...
@Kisunminttu erm...wait, I'll need to ask the wife :-)
@AviD Question about yesterday's topic. If the experiment is performed with an unattractive profile picture and the results showed that those women didn't put up with any crap this time, wouldn't that minimize the bias in the results of the first experiment?
@Adnan: sorry, was interrupted for something related to work
"One-Time Pad" is a mythical beast whose unbreakability comes from the idea that the key stream is really random, not something generated from a smaller seed
Extending a key (or password) into a long stream, to be XORed with the data, is called a stream cipher.
Stream ciphers exist. A stream cipher can be built from a block cipher by encrypting successive values of a counter (that's called CTR mode).
There are dedicated stream cipher algorithms which are not as versatile as block ciphers, but are (supposedly) faster than AES in CTR mode.
Usual KDF are rarely competitive because they are not optimized for speed. Mathematically, the requirements for being a "strong stream cipher" are not as strict as the requirements for being a "strong KDF".
So the KDF-as-stream-cipher is overkill, and it shows on the performances.
I've been using KeePassX for a while now. I want to be able to show passwords as QR on my screen so I don't have to enter 24 random characters on my cellphone. I noticed there is a QR extension for KeePass, but KeePassX doesn't support it. So that's one big difference.
According to Wikipedia: "...
@TerryChia apparantly you don't need a hardware raid controller, it's all software based right? I was wondering how it works and how easy it is to extend an array?
@FEichinger I VtC as a product recommendation, because even though he's not specifically asking for a recco, it'd be the same type of answer..Listing features that will change from version to version.
> Kasper - this doesn't appear to be a security question at all, and Wikipedia quotes the differences. I think we need to close this as off topic for us. I'd advise asking the project directly
@Adnan I can't see it as on topic. The OP is asking what the differences are, while quoting an article detailing the differences. Any other info should come from the developers
