@djb@mastodon.cr.yp.to @rsalz@ioc.exchange with a broken premise, where you end up hardly matters. There is a safe most researched algorithm and a saver slightly more complicated hybrid. We get RFCs and the people or the market or the international governments decide if and what they want to accept. The IETF just facilitates both. It makes the slightly saver one recommended. This is where the story should end but Dan Quichotte is on a mission and can’t take he is in the rough of rough consensus that the IETF doesn’t want to forbid the safe option that some other orgs such as USG and 3GPP want to use.

    @letoams@defcon.social @rsalz@ioc.exchange IETF claims that every WG-issued RFC has "consensus of the IETF community". You don't seem to understand what the word "consensus" means.
