Why the Mimblewimble protocol makes other privacy coin protocols obsolete

May 12, 2023 -

(Article republished from TB358DE.Substack.com)

Monero, the oldest private and anonymous blockchain, uses the CryptoNote protocol based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), a well-understood and proven cryptography. Ring signatures are used in a way where a user can create a transaction and automatically use the output of other similar transactions on the blockchain to form the input for a ring signature transaction, making it unclear which input belongs ...

Full tyranny: Biden administration plans to ban Americans from using antivirus software made by Russian company

10 days ago - cryptography at a university sponsored by the KGB and worked for a Russian Ministry of Defense institute after graduation, but the company has denied having “any unethical ties or affiliations with any government, including Russia.”

The move barring private businesses from using Kaspersky software would be unprecedented, and it's one of many recent efforts by the government to control the technology that Americans use. For example, the U.S. Senate is currently weighing ...

September 21, 2023 - cryptography researchers have also previously come together opposing the bill, raising concerns about how provisions to prevent the spread of child sexual abuse material will interact with security and privacy.

The British government, led by the Conservative Party, claimed earlier this month, in an apparent concession to the concerns of privacy activists, that the Office of Communications – which will be put in charge of implementing the provisions of the Online ...

EXCLUSIVE: Why Google’s “quantum supremacy” means the end of encryption security for cryptocurrency, military, finance and personal communications

September 22, 2019 - cryptography." It is cryptography that allows cryptocurrency transactions to be securely communicated over non-secure networks (such as the open internet) while verifying the authenticity of the party sending cryptocurrency funds. Quantum computing makes classical cryptography obsolete for mathematical reasons explained below.Cryptography relies on cryptographic asymmetry, which is rendered obsolete by quantum computing

Evidence points to Bitcoin being an NSA-engineered psyop to roll out one-world digital currency

December 10, 2017 - cryptography of anonymous electronic cash." This document, released in 1997 -- yes, twenty years ago -- detailed the overall structure and function of Bitcoin cryptocurrency.

Who authored the document? Try not to be shocked when you learn it was authored by "mathematical cryptographers at the National Security Agency's Office of Information Security Research and Technology."

The NSA, in other words, detailed key elements of Bitcoin long before Bitcoin ever ...

EXCLUSIVE: The NSA is archiving all encrypted emails and transactions, knowing they will be able to decrypt most digital files in about 3 years, thanks to quantum computing

September 23, 2019 - cryptography. Without cryptography, there is no cryptocurrency. And Google -- which is little more than a tech front for the NSA -- will soon render classical cryptography obsolete.)The weaponization of quantum computing against human freedom

The high economic cost of quantum computing systems means the NSA will likely direct this digital weapon at targets with the highest payoff -- such as the digital communications of members of Congress or ...

Decoding the cryptic “manifesto” of the alleged Buffalo shooter Payton Gendron, which also spells Pentagon Drony

May 15, 2022 - cryptography or hidden messages. Because the text seemed as if the surface meaning were merely a distraction. There seemed to be a far more important message encoded in the text, which is why such strange grammatical and word choices were likely made.

To begin, I converted the lines into text blocks, eliminating special characters, spaces, etc. The result:

Google claim of achieving quantum computing will change everything

September 28, 2019 - cryptography easier.  But that's sort of like saying a one time pad hasn't been broken.  Duh.  However, distributing and securing the pad is, in such an environment, really no different than distributing the message, is it?  Which gets us right back to my first line -- you may as well use a typewriter and physically hand the message to someone.

And by the way, this doesn't make Google the "most valuable" company in the Internet space.

It makes all companies ...

U.S. Emergency alert system vulnerable to hijacking, report finds

July 07, 2019 - cryptography is another option, though private keys could make launching some alerts (like AMBER alerts) more complicated.

"Ultimately we hope cell carriers, manufacturers, and government entities work together to find a more robust solution,” Wustrow says.

This research also underscores the importance  of emergency preparedness. When disaster strikes, most people don't know what to do, and chaos ensues. Having a plan laid out for emergency situations can also ...

IT’S HERE: D-Wave announces 2048-qubit quantum computing system, theoretically capable of breaking all classical encryption, including military-grade

September 24, 2019 - cryptography algorithms obsolete. (At least as currently structured, although perhaps there is a way around this in the future.)

"Factoring integers" is the key to breaking encryption. In fact, it is the extreme difficulty of factoring very large numbers that makes encryption incredibly difficult to break using classical computing. But as we have explained in this previous article, quantum computing translates exponentially complex mathematical problems into simple, ...

The RESTRICT ACT (anti-TikTok law) is an Orwellian NIGHTMARE that would seize web domains and imprison Americans for 20 years if they contradict the regime in power

April 02, 2023 - cryptography, which is a promising tech that could allow private individuals to prevent corrupt governments from spying on their private messages.

To ban all Bitcoin, the government would merely need to claim that somebody in Russia or China used Bitcoin to carry out some horrible (false flag) terrorism in the United States, and that Bitcoin enabled the funding for the attack. With one declaration, Bitcoin could be outlawed across the country and anyone who transacts ...

The CRYPTO tipping point has arrived as corporate banks SHATTER public trust… every person must become proficient in crypto or risk losing everything

March 08, 2022 - cryptography keyes are stored on your local device. Nobody really knows you have this wallet, and the wallet isn't tied to your identity. This is non-cloud storage of your crypto, but it's not "cold" storage yet. For cold storage, you would need to disconnect your computer from the internet, or purchase a cold storage hardware locker device such as a Trezor.
