Defense in depth: using elliptic curves for cryptography that no mathematical software system on earth can understand o_O Doesn't help me...
@markov_twain neither Mathematica nor Wolfram Alpha understand Edwards curves, afaik

@bascule looking up elliptic curves in a math book immediately took me to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodge_conjecture … — this shit is apparently hard -
@markov_twain "Let X be a compact complex manifold of complex dimension n" o_O -
@bascule so it’s a generalization of the usual complex plane. don’t ask me about the rest of that article tho. -
@markov_twain I barely get it. I get that finite fields are cyclic now -
@bascule I didn’t know that. Wikipedia tells me you’re right, but I always have to think for a long time to digest stuff like that. -
@markov_twain if the cryptographer has a better trick up his sleeve than xor, it's a modulus ;)
