@DLitz there is a definite need for something to shift to in the event of the discovery of major flaws anywhere in the cryptosystem

@bascule It shouldn't wait for major flaws. BEAST never would have happened if we regularly upgraded entire protocols. -
@DLitz you're not really big on that whole "interoperability" thing, are you? -
@bascule Really, all any implementation needs today is: 1. This year's state-of-the-art; and 2. Last year's state-of-the-art. -
@DLitz here in the real world, we’re forced to implement protocols created in the ‘80s, because they’re still used -
@bascule No 1980s protocol is secure. If you need to talk to 1980s software, tunnel it through a real secure channel.

@bascule Make each individual protocol version an order of magnitude simpler, and we can upgrade 10x as often.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
