Replying to onlydeadhorses post with overtones of ad hominem:

Stop assuming what I do or don’t know or can do, have done etc. Have you identified me?

The issue of making crypto “less secure” isn’t anywhere near the deal that some academics are making it out to be.

I’m just a user, not going to implement crypto. Someone else can solve such problems. Make crypto that has a secure skeleton key system that respects privacy without reducing security. “Make up for it” by making it twice as slow maybe, just an idea

You’re plainly biased against my position and ventured towards an attack. Let’s not, please.

The stuff I was reading made it clear that current skeleton key systems don’t suffer from greatly reduced security by any stretch. but still have a chain of custody system / spof issues. I’m sure something much more clever that respects privacy and solves those issues is possible

Since I’m the one out of your league, can you and your colleagues work on it

Good old-fashioned troll. You got me for a few replies.
No need for that. Not sure why you hopped on me, but it wasn’t necessary.

Putting down people you perceive as beneath you intellectually isn’t good manners, and is usually counterproductive.
