Title: Trolling law-enforcement agents
Post by: Come-from-Beyond on March 23, 2016, 05:08:19 PM
From http://sphincs.cr.yp.to (SPHINCS: practical stateless hash-based signatures):

Quote
Special note to law-enforcement agents: The word "state" is a technical term in cryptography. Typical hash-based signature schemes need to record information, called "state", after every signature. Google's Adam Langley refers to this as a "huge foot-cannon" from a security perspective. By saying "eliminate the state" we are advocating a security improvement, namely adopting signature schemes that do not need to record information after every signature. We are not talking about eliminating other types of states. We love most states, especially yours! Also, "hash" is another technical term and has nothing to do with cannabis.
