Boy you know your stuff. I got a Master Degree in Information Security and Advance Cryptography. I can confirm you are spot on.  Wink

I can't tell if you are sarcastic or trolling or what, but just in case you are serious: Where did you get your Masters Degree? I am genuinely curious. I don't see those kinds of courses offered in any school in my country.

The closest I can see is a Masters in National Security Administration, which I've been eyeing for a few years now. I just need to find the time (one year of going to school.) They don't seem to talk about Cryptography though, it's more like a Strategic Warfare school. (It's a military college.)

"In God we trust. Everyone else, we monitor".

Sounds like a good policy. As if anyone else would be 'better' if they were in that position.

Check yourselves before criticizing the 'government' please...

Except they use the full force of secrecy laws and corrupt judges (and who knows what other nefarious means) and the Iron Fist of the State to specifically avoid all monitoring ... check yourself before defending corruption please ...

LOL typical soft fuck from 1st world that thinks they know something about 'tyranny'.

The only difference, but a big one, between tyranny and politics is the end result. Let me know when they bust in your door in the middle of the night and drag off your family mafia style into the deepest darkest alley to be raped and killed as you watch.

No one gives a shit about some pampered fools bitching about 'tyranny' and can't even tell the difference between a real talk and 'state apologist'

Really, it's sad how naive some of you are. You even deluded yourself you know better than others Smiley

Within a year, major questions were raised about Dual Elliptic Curve.
Cryptography authority Bruce Schneier wrote that the weaknesses in the formula "can only be described as a back door".

After reports of the back door in September, RSA urged its customers to stop using the Dual Elliptic Curve number generator.
But unlike the Clipper Chip fight two decades ago, the company is saying little in public, and it declined to discuss how the NSA
 entanglements have affected its relationships with customers.

ECC is use for Bitcoin right ?

Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone.
it has lots of buttery taste..

If the NSA did make Bitcoin, the would be able to find A LOT of people money laundering, operating out of China and so forth perhaps?!

Speculation is fun Smiley
