> the provenance of the paper has been confirmed: it is indeed Schnorr.

What I read is that someone contacted Schnorr over email to get this confirmation.

I’m not saying the confirmation is wrong. And I’m not saying email cannot convey information.

Well, it's definitely suspect now that RSA is broken.

So somebody cracked RSA and took over gmail.com domain just to fake him being Schnorr.

Beautifully done.

"Email cannot convey information"? Baloney. It does all the time.

You seem to mean something different from what your words say...

“I’m not saying...”

see?

[AnimalMuppet]

Did you edit that, or did I misread it?

[natch]

Actually come to think of it that’s a good question. Didn’t edit it adversarially if you know what I mean, nor long after posting, but there may have been a race condition as I was tweaking wording immediately after first saving. I see the edit indicator is there but I don’t recall if that exact portion was changed in the moment.
