@stf@chaos.social I commented on your post, and the statement that keys is the problem seems a bit out of touch with how cryptography works IRL. It is a universal problem and keys are not the problem, it is authentication of both sides that is lacking in general. If you just send over a (public)key it can be intercepted and replaced easily if it isn't signed and validated by both sides and interception becomes a reality.

    @Ichinin@infosec.exchange i think you very much misunderstood the quote, and possibly also the article if you read that. none said that keys are a problem, no idea where you got that from.
