@SGgrc try asking @Bruce_Schneier -- you have mentioned "overlaps between Bruce's thinking and mine". Is password padding one of those?

@SGgrc Will you allow some time in today's show to address misgivings?

I'm voting today in the UK referendum for the alternative vote. Don't be fooled by 'No to AV'.
