A Furry’s Guide to Cryptocurrency

@SqueamishOssifrage Yeah, saw that one before. Not bad (if I remember correctly), if a bit furry.

why, would you prefer it to be feathery

I just asked what is perhaps a dumb question. I have a vocabulary issue where I often am sure that the answer is in the site, but I have no idea how to find it. I wrote the question in a way that a EE would be able to search for it.

@SqueamishOssifrage Well, duh :) Of course feathery over furry. Dinosaurs may not rule the earth anymore, but we certainly rule the skies :P

feathery, furry and Fluffy

@bdegnan What is your question? There is a conspicuous absence of question marks in your post.

@SqueamishOssifrage I have a single question, which was at the end. I was trying to give nuance, but the crux of the question is: If you cannot change the symmetric key in a device, what do you do about it as best practice is to change the key periodically.

@bdegnan I still don't understand what the question is.

I don't understand what your goal is—what useful thing you're trying to achieve in context—and what parts you have with which you are trying to achieve it.

It seems unlikely to us that Apple has granted Cellebrite a license to redistribute and incorporate Apple DLLs in its own product, so this might present a legal risk for Cellebrite and its users.

@kelalaka lol

this is truly epic

@nobody actually the whole article.

yes

I love it

Thanks to SqueamishOssifrage to bring it on.

Yeah thanks from me too

This world of ours

Does anyone know where i can find the spec for the Secure Simple Pairing process of Bluetooth? All I found was vtsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Core_v5.1.pdf but it doesn't give the actual crypto protocol

I am trying to understand how they prevent MITM with only a 6 digit code. How is that 6 digit code derived? Can it be brute forced?

@bdegnan oops, I was reading the wrong question

@bdegnan …but, still not entirely clear on what you're asking, if crypto.stackexchange.com/q/89525 is the question you meant. What is the payload, and how large is it? How many times does a payload have to be exchanged? Which parts of the system can keep state?
