Guavanaut posted:VILE WhatsApp have repeatedly refused MI5 pleas to change mathematics. "All they'd have to do is change the numbers so they don't add up and we'd win at terror" said government spokesman Christian Goodbloke-Notfash. It would actually be trivial for Whatsapp to make it easy for intelligence agencies to break their encryption. It would also be entirely pointless, for all sorts of reasons.

Where other parties include, for example, intelligence agencies which aren't the good ones (us)? Could they make it trivial for Russian intelligence agencies to break it but only for Russian users, French intelligence agencies for French users,

What if it was possible for WhatsApp to break the encryption on behalf of the police if there was a genuine reason for seeing a specific person's recent conversation, as there arguably is now. Is it technically feasible to design it so it works that way? (I have no idea).

It also makes the system as a whole more vulnerable to hacking, in addition to all the normal motives of greed, politics, espionage, revenge, etc. that could cause someone with access to it to skip around the warrant bit. Unless we authenticate all judges by RFID in their wigs or something, it's impossible to make a system that can tell the difference between a legal request and someone deciding to abuse the system.

Now imagine that the police has a special key that can open anyone's door. Can you see what would happen when (not if) someone else figures out how to make such a key?

Guavanaut posted:Trivial in a way that doesn't make it easier for other parties to break their encryption? In theory, yes. In practice, not without massive, massive problems.

Is it technically feasible to design it so it works that way? (I have no idea). Yes, but not without completely redesigning the way the service works and both completely breaking their security model and incurring gigantic infrastructure costs, because at that point they're just running an email service with slightly peculiar addressing.

I'm fairly certain once the bombs drop we'll be radioactive for quite a bit longer. Actually - if we were to nuke ourselves tomorrow, what sort of scale would it be detectable at to alien observers? Would they have to be specifically watching us, or would it be much more obvious? Strom Cuzewon fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Mar 27, 2017 |

If you had sensitive enough radio equipment and were in the local neighborhood you'd probably pick up a few clicks though, and you could probably pick up the gamma rays from a long way away if you happened to be watching, or the atmospheric changes could be observed as we do with exoplanets.

Encryption ban is gonna be fun. Don't use maths citizens! You may inadvertently help isis when loving around with long division!Private Speech posted:Is this really true? Aren't comets/meteoroids/whatever actually fairly close? It's one of those QI style "facts" that isn't really quite there at all. On a really clear night in a dark area when you look around you will be able to see a few thousand stars with your naked eyes. Out of those thousands, perhaps one or two might well be dead. Betelgeuse, the bright red star on orion's shoulder is about due to blow any time (within the next hundred thousand years maybe) and its about 6 or 700 light years away. Others are further away and even dodgier. It's all playing the odds, but any stars you see naked eye are within a few thousand light years, so almost all of them are probably still there, because they aren't that far away relatively, and that doesn't give a long timespan for them to have died compared with life expectancy. If you start loving around with binoculars or a small telescope, suddenly you see a fuckton more, and you knock up your odds a lot. Any comets or meteors you can look at are going to be within our own system with a light distance measured in a few hours max. That poo poo's almost definitely still there. Now if you are lucky enough to be super dark on a really good night, you can see other nearby galaxies with your naked (sexy) eyes as bright splotches. When you look at one of those, given that the brightest stars in them shine the shortest, and the distances involved, you can be certain to be looking at some dead stars- andromeda is about 2 million light years ago/away and its populated with billions of massive, shortlived stars.
