Cryptic messages, carrier pigeons, secret codes words. Cryptography used to be cool.

I need something that can decode the cryptic signals girls send out.

[ghosty121212]

LOL! Same... :P

@HyperNathan Brother, when you figure that one out, you can sell that shit!

RC4 = Fail

what is this internet you speak of?

cool stuff

@TheVoidReturnsNil Usually. What he called private key cryptography is actually symmetric key crypto.

SSL/TLS actually uses a bit of both because public key crypto tends to be computationally more expensive. SSL exchanges a symmetric key using public/private keys and then uses the symmetric key to transmit data.

I could be wrong, but... doesn't the *public* key encrypt while the *private* key decrypts? Sure, it makes no difference to the end user who doesn't see it anyways, but if it's the reverse, the python app I just finished that depends on asymmetric encryption will get me... in trouble. A lot of trouble.

P.S. -- Using public/private key pairs for signing would be a much more secure form of authentication than passwords! Passwords are the weakest point of security in most systems.

Why don't you make more videos these days?

RSAR encryption = fail XD

@unepommeverte17 not if i remember correctly, i believe they were running a virus through the machine

[unepommeverte17]

@Farmboy1927 lol thanks...but wasn't that some sort of code...not some crazy unbeatable one like they thought, but it still took forever for the machine to figure it out...

@unepommeverte17 its called the digital fortress
