Hello, my name is Zachary Weinberg. I go by “Zack,” except on paper. Pleased to meet you.

I’m about thirty years old, and I grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, California. I’ve had most formal study in chemistry and cognitive science, but somehow I always end up working in the computer industry. My interests range all over the sciences and a little way into philosophy, plus some of the arts (notably, candle-making, pottery, and game design).

comment Is my developer's home-brew password security right or wrong, and why?
In addition to what has already been said, I'd point out that published algorithms are designed to remain secure even though they have been published. That means they have to be better than algorithms that can rely on the adversary not knowing how they work.

I only mean to suggest that this is a question you should be asking your client.

Why does the org wish these useful procedures not to be shared? Ceteris paribus, it seems that they should be shared.
