KRYPTO 2.0 - 256 Bits Is the Most Any Computer Can Use
You know, I REALLY don’t like just regurgitating whatever Bruce Schneier is writing about, but sometimes, he’s got some GREAT stuff on his blog. He points us toward a product called KRYPTO 2.0.
From the site: Krypto uses repeated 256 bits (full bits) a coding purely been based on information of the keys file, which are the technically highest coding depth at all on computers possible are.
Now, I understand that the author is German, and that it’s fairly evident English is NOT one of his primary languages, but it’s still no excuse.
This is also reminiscent of a presentation I was witness to recently. The author of a product for biometric encryption claimed that his product’s encryption was superior because it used Super S Blocks, rather than that dusty old crap everyone else uses. Now, mind you, this product was also explained as using the biometric identifier (such as a fingerprint) as the
key, rather than having the identifier open a certificate which serves as the key. Sucks when you have to revoke the credential, huh? Well, at least you still have nine other fingers that are perfectly functional!
