Wait, AES with a minimum of 256 bits? Might be a typo, but there's only one AEAD AES with no more than 256-bits right? Is there key whitening? (I find it odd that few algorithms have strong or independently generated whitening keys, particularly given that one of the arguments for 128-bit DES is that it would only have 20% more gates)

2017 - the best year yet for Israel
by Zenaan Harkness 08 Mar '17

First they legislate a travel ban: - https://www.rt.com/news/379709-israel-bars-boycott-supporters/ " A spokesperson for Smotrich earlier compared the bill to US President Donald Trump’s travel ban, saying “without going into the policies of the [US] president, every sovereign nation must set its policies in accordance with what is good for it,” The Times of Israel reported. " Next they're "warned" by Washington that annexing more land of their neighbours risks a "crisis" with America: - https://www.rt.com/news/379676-us-israel-west-bank-annexation/ “We received a message directly — not indirectly, not a hint — from the US, that Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank means an immediate crisis with the new administration,” Add in the Israeli protesters against their own country's ethnic cleansing program, a rapid global holohoax awareness, - http://www.renegadetribune.com/international-red-cross-report-confirms-holo… - https://www.radioislam.org/islam/english/revision/six_million_myth.htm - http://israelect.com/reference/WillieMartin/HOLOHOAX.htm - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_denial , similar rising awareness of who controls most of the world's fiat money supply: - http://www.rense.com/general85/feddrec.htm - The Jewish Story Behind the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank http://forward.com/culture/325447/the-man-behind-the-fed/ - https://europeanmediacentre.wordpress.com/2013/09/02/list-of-banks-owned-by… - http://www.realjewnews.com/?p=640 - https://archive.org/stream/HowHitlerDefiedTheInternationalBankers/HowHitler… and 2017 looks like a perfect storm for some ethnic awarenes to grip many of the world's people. Good luck fellow pepes :)

[MONEY] Washington's Greatest Geopolitical Blunder Since 1776
by Zenaan Harkness 08 Mar '17

Imperial chickens coming home to roost - one of the best editorial's yet by Russia Insider (they're definitely picking up their game lately and remolding themselves as a news creator, rather than merely a link aggregator as they started out; props to them). Washington Makes Biggest Geopolitical Blunder Since 1776 Many thought it could never be done, but Washington has actually managed to unite the East against a faltering, aimless West http://russia-insider.com/en/washington-makes-greatest-geopolitical-blunder…

“These techniques permit the CIA to bypass the encryption of WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Weibo, Confide and Cloackman(sic) by hacking the smartphones that they run on and collecting audio and message traffic before encryption is applied,” McClatchy: > The CIA has built up a formidable hacking division that has amassed > ways to control smartphones worldwide and turn on the microphones in > Samsung smart televisions, WikiLeaks said Tuesday. > > WikiLeaks released <https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/> what it said were > 8,761 documents taken from the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence in > Langley, Virginia, in what it described as “the largest intelligence > publication in history.” > > The documents indicate that the CIA has collected “more than a > thousand hacking systems, trojans, viruses and other ‘weaponized’ > malware” that allow the agency to overcome encryption and seize > control of devices from the biggest tech firms worldwide, including > Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung.

These techniques permit the CIA to bypass the encryption of WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Wiebo, Confide and Cloackman by hacking the "smart" phones that they run on and collecting audio and message traffic before encryption is applied. CIA malware targets Windows, OSx, Linux, routers The CIA also runs a very substantial effort to infect and control Microsoft Windows users with its malware. This includes multiple local and remote weaponized "zero days", air gap jumping viruses such as "Hammer Drill" which infects software distributed on CD/DVDs, infectors for removable media such as USBs, systems to hide data in images or in covert disk areas ( "Brutal Kangaroo") and to keep its malware infestations going. Hold on to your kernels mates, we goin for a ride :)
