Session Round 2

Earlier this week, I wrote a blog post succinctly titled, Don't Use Session. Two interesting things have happened since I published that blog: A few people expressed uncertainty about what I wrote about using Pollard's rho to attack Session's design (for which, I offered to write a proof of concept and report back with results), and Session wrote a blog claiming to rebut the claims made in that blog post.

It's really funny when people that dislike me try to attack me for being gay

Like, yes, my family line ends with me! Your descendants won't have to put up with me because I will eventually die, and won't have descendants of my own. And you're mad about that? smh

I amended the post to add a section here in response to a Twitter blue user, scriptjunkie, who thought I didn't understand how asymmetric cryptography works.

Comparing their usage of Ed25519 to an extremely inefficient CRC32 is the only way to adequately describe how YOLO their protocol design is.

The main reason I said to avoid Session, all those months ago, was simply due to…

Kind of insane how lag caused by too many objects in one area is a real part of physics (time dilation around extremely massive objects--the "too many" part referring to the atoms).
