Re: New paper on Security and ObscurityFrom: stephane nasdrovisky <stephane.nasdrovisky () paradigmo com> Date: Wed, 01 Sep 2004 15:52:10 +0200 Just a stupid tought inspired by page 7 - B: who will create the first
satellite with me (i.e. for watching what's doing our ennemy / in order
to know where he is)? I guess we could earn some $ if we are the first
on this topic, I hope I'm not too late :-)
Is full-disclosure includes password/shared secret disclosure ? Maybe
'full' is not the best choosen word.. It seems 'full' is limited to
algorithms, and do not extend to secrets (such as passwords), what would
be the use of a safe if the secret (either the code or the key) is
written on the door (I know .. in case of fire, a safe is safer than the
fireman and its water). It looks like computer and military security are
not so different ...I'm continuing to read this paper. Scientific
American / pour la science had an issue on cryptography/computer
security about a year ago (no 36 of the french edition)
