Bruce Schneier on What He Knows Best

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the smart-people-on-smart-topics dept.

Over at CSO Magazine there's a wonderful interview with Bruce Schneier, where he talks about cryptography and security. He has several good points, such as the physical security industry versus the IT security camp, and how true security really boils down to people problems. There's some good commentary on post-9/11 airport security regulations as well.

    that would be the creator's increasingly popular planet/population rescue initiative (formerly unknown as the oil for babies program), which coincides perfectly (we do not use that word lightly) with the onset of the gnu millennium.

    still much to be done. see you there.

    get ready to see the light. there's no going back, & no where to hide.

  6. Cryptographic world - factoring large primes by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Now that a simple algorithm has been published to factor large primes, I wonder how HTTPS and other computer cryptographic techniques will be revised.

    For those who missed the slashdot article...

    Most modern cryptographic techniques are based on the seemingly difficult process of factoring large numbers (some as large as 1024 bits [300+ decimal digits] and beyond).

    Now there is an algorithm which can determine the factors of such huge primes in P-time. Simply by plugging the huge prime into the following formula, the factors can be computed directly. No need for super computers or massive networks of interconnected PC's to solve the factorization of large primes.

    Here is the formula, in case you missed it:

    To factor large Prime P:

    small factor is: F1 = (P x e^(i*Pi))/-P

    large factor is: F2 = -(P x e^(i*Pi))
