Re: [Cryptography] Boing Boing pushing an RSA Conference boycott
If courageous, Rivest, Shamir and Adelson can be burnt in effigy. Their initials once were rightly world famous, and to smear these distinguished gentlemen by vulgar opportunistic protest instigated by noobs with less than zero comprehension of cryptography should be condemned not debated. James Bidzos raped the three once, twice, thrice, then hid his corporatorizing crime under skirts of EMC. Don't ravage his victims. Protest, sure, but demonstrate what to protest for effectiveness, not idiotic sloganeering of a logo. Hell, long-time duplicitous IBM deserves deeper anger than RSA. DES and much more. Go big and really bold. Protest the Waasenaar Arrangement, the greatest rigging of the dual-use technology market ever, and the world's greatest gang of cheaters, bribers, underhanded dealers of contraband, most of it lethal, far deadlier than crypto. Greenwald blogs there are cryptographers and comsec experts reviewing Snowden's material for future releases. Presumably the highly ethical reviewers have a clear shot at avoiding release of their own names and firms. They will cheat, that's certain.
well one of the problems is they dont know as much as you do
we try not to berate the others for their work - yes 'reformists' suck but
at least they are not sitting on their potato asses
maybe you can post something on cryptome to wake them up those boingos
:::::: tweet it at them after you post it so the community can see the
criticism - maybe it can spark a debate and some knowledge can b had
