Dec 8	comment	Unidentified public network sending traffic through my computer Just to get this clear: You reinstalled your OS and formatted the whole drive and you still have this problem? Did you try, since you reinstalled anyway, installing Linux? :p
Dec 6	comment	Secure Encrypted Chat Protocol So the answer is pretty much: It's impossible, that is, there is no known method. (Without cheesy things like waiting a constant amount of time.)
Dec 5	comment	Secure Encrypted Chat Protocol Please include in your answer why the server is now prevented to do a man-in-the-middle-attack. :)

Dec 5	comment	Do any security experts recommend bcrypt for password storage? No word about scrypt? :)

Dec 4	comment	Recommended # of iterations when using PKBDF2-SHA256? Just an idea: Could one do like ~20k rounds on the client PC and than 1k on the server? If an attacker would start by guessing "normal passwords", he would still have to do 21k rounds. And if he'd start with keys, he'd only need to do 1k rounds, but the entropy should be much higher. Am I missing something? Seems like a good solution to me.
