OK Twitter is censoring the original link to that article which is on a web site called strategic hyphen culture dot org.
Here is the response if the website strategic hyphen culture dot org is included in the Tweet:
Here’s the part I wanted to highlight, which is important!

💥 "The prize that America truly seeks is to seize for itself over the coming decades, all global standards in leading-edge technology, and to deny them to China.” 👈 👆
And for completion, here is the currently uncensored copy:

One wonders what strategic hyphen culture dot org have published to offend the “facts-checkers” in the censorship office of Twitter?

@Steve_Lockstep @joerosato @csuwildcat sorry, it’s 50 mins long, I don’t watch much video, so speaking from generalisms and hints:

As a term, PKI suffers the same problem as ‘identity’ - it means different things to different people. Consequently, as a sector, it’s totally unreliable as a term. It can mean...
@Steve_Lockstep @joerosato @csuwildcat Use of Public Key cryptography in a technical system - that’s the PK part dominating. OR

Infrastructure around PKs to make the PK do or mean something. OR

Identity system based on PKI, implying use of private key is proof of person. Or...
@Steve_Lockstep @joerosato @csuwildcat X.509-based PKI which locks in a particular technology *and* a set of meanings/doings which don’t work *and* a set of companies that extract rents for little benefit, which extraction works a treat.

So, 1st order question is, what is this person meaning when using the term PKI?

A rant on the USA Election. If you’re uninterested you know what to do.

zerohedge.com/political/aoc-…

As we move closer to November, it’s somewhat non-controversial to say this USA election is the most divisive in living memory. I at least can’t recall one as divisive. 1/34
Reasons are obvious but I want to point out one reason that isn’t obvious, it’s the “NEVER TALK ABOUT…” rule.



zerohedge.com/political/fec-…

I’ve in the past alluded to this - the opening of Pandora’s box in the 2016 USA election. 2/34
Few have picked up on it, so to save some 150 million or so American voters some angst, it’s worth surfacing. Here’s the QUESTION:

Who’s hacking the USA election?

This is a great research attack on a SWIFT-using payment institution (likely a British bank allowing the research to be conducted).

But I was struck by how the architectural flaw leapt out and screamed HIT ME HERE! 1/
Here’s the flaw: SAC is a flag that says signature verification and RMA (Relationship Management Application) authorisation and verification was successful.

Let me say that more clearly: SAC says verification is done. 2/ Image
The flaw is this: the SAC isn’t the authorisation - it’s a flag saying there was an auth. Which means, in short SWIFT messages do not carry any role-based authorisations.

They might be authorised, but it’s like they slapped a sticker on to say that.

Not good enough. 3/17

Thoughts on momentum accounting financialcryptography.com/mt/archives/00…

I see a connection between Ijiri’s momentum accounting and cryptographic receipts, both called triple entry, so I'll try and draw it out. 1/10
Ijiri's third entry is a derivative of two successive accounting entries, making it like momentum in physics. Therefore, he suggests, we could in effect use this 'calculus' technique on accounting records to predict the future direction of activity. 2/10

warrenhenke.com/writing/essays…
altho everyone wants to know the future, I am not comfortable with the notion that you can measure momentum by doing a 'calculus' over accounting records. As his third entry is derivative information, I suspect that its conceptual value (use) is limited by fraud / deception. 3/10

10 years ago I annoyed the entire crypto-supply industry:

Hypothesis #1 -- The One True Cipher Suite

iang.org/ssl/h1_the_one… 1/7
The One True Cipher Suite was born of watching projects and groups wallow in the mire of complexity, as doubt caused teams to add multiple algorithms- a complexity that easily doubled the cost of the protocol with consequent knock-on effects & costs 2/7
The One True Cipher Suite was widely ridiculed in crypto and standards circles. Developers and standards groups like the IETF just could not let go of crypto agility. This sacred cow led the TLS group to field something like 200 standard suites 3/7

David Chaum: imagine 35 and a half years ago...
The NSA was trying to block all public research in cryptography. This was disturbing to graduate students in Berkeley, the home of free speech.
...in the front row were all the NSA people, only listing addresses as Maryland.
