Trans-Vernam ciphers are the cyber equlvalent of the 2nd Amendment. https://t.co/vBzCP5yZyG

Can a finite key offer unlimited mathematical security -- circumventing Shannon's Proof? Claude Shannon proved that for perfect security the message must not be larger than the key. But there appears to be a way to circumvent this theoretical limitation

Encryption does not give you privacy unless, when confronted, you can release a key that decrypts the ciphertext to a harmless plaintext, protecting the real encrypted message. Now you can do it.

Drones are the fastest growing mode of transportation -- and the fastest growing hacking target too.... https://t.co/SH8av39zWd

The Federal Gov admitted a deep cyber break in. Serious US damage. The Feds rely on big fat cyber companies, as foreign powers contract and learn from small budding US cyber innovators https://t.co/kyQGeOo7K2

Just saved a client with a simple advice: convert unknown powerpoint to PDF in a blank machine, then pass the PDF around. His peer activated the raw emailed powerpoint file, and was hit by ransomware. powerpoint files can be super malicious.

A security system that is not attacked, always works. A security system whose attacker is smarter than its designer always fails.

The no-brainer about encryption: WhatsUp, VPN, end-to-end. Whoever encrypts it for you -- reads everything.

Marriott debacle proves again that you can't fence-off a public-engaging database. Our clients 'finger-print' their database, which makes the data toxic for hackers: https://t.co/MAEpK4qLP8

Will Bitcoin secrecy protect Russian Collusion money from Mueller? Not if they hire math hounds like us.

[Gideon Samid @wesecure]

@mrlukeduke @BitMintNews No affect at all!

Side channels attacks defeat all modular arithmetic ciphers. Check: https://t.co/G86uwW8De4 and https://t.co/PUqRj6dNOx

@Security_BH BitMint allows for battery operated payment -- works through blackouts. ("Tethered Money" Elsevier).

[Gideon Samid @wesecure]

@Morgan_Kaufmann bitcoin relies on hackable complexity. BitMint hinges on durable randomness. ("Tethered Money", Elsevier)

[Gideon Samid @wesecure]

The future of cryptography: user controlled randomness, tailored security, avoiding hackable complex algorithms.

[Gideon Samid @wesecure]

Nano-payment, pay-as-you-go, tethered money -- a security game changer ("Tethered Money" by Elsevier Academic Press).

[Gideon Samid @wesecure]

Prominent compilers have been contaminated, and add exploitable randomness to output! Not good!

@MacAttack appears to exploit unused parts of #iOS to store data harvest. Cancel fingerprint signature -- if stolen -- lifelong damage!
