comment Lessons learned and misconceptions regarding encryption and cryptology
@PaĆ­loEbermann Many uses of a nonce do not require secrecy, but some protocol formalisms call the secret used to authenticate messages a "nonce" rather than a key, because it is not used as an encryption key.

comment Benefits to using EV certificates with a privately hosted Certificate Authority
@makerofthings I understand that making fake certificates (certificates signed without the consent of the subject) is useful for debugging, with the consent of consumer of the certificate. It seems to me that making up certificates, without the consent of the subject of the certificate and the consent of the person who use the certificate, is dishonest and unlawful.

comment Reject IP packets with an ICMP error, or just drop them?
@Gilles 576 B/s is not slow, it's sluggish! With 2,000 such "innocent parties" you can send 1 MB/s. You wouldn't overload my DSL link with that! If you are into that, why not use DNS for your DDoS? ;) It least you can have an interesting multiplication factor.
