Hoping that today I can make some good mistakes.
Hi, these are my ramblings on Information Security, Web, Design, Teckmology and life in general.
If you have ever been curious about encryption here is a great video explaining key strength. Very interest lying.
I am not sure what this is more, Cool or Scary but it is both for sure…

Gotta love InfoSec - The recommended comparable key size classes discussed in this section are based on
assessments made as of the publication of this recommendation using currently known methods.
Advances in factoring algorithms, advances in general discrete logarithm attacks, elliptic curve
discrete logarithm attacks and quantum computing may affect these equivalencies in the future.
New or improved attacks or technologies may be developed that leave some of the current
algorithms completely insecure. If quantum attacks become practical, the asymmetric techniques
may no longer be secure. Periodic reviews will be performed to determine whether the stated
equivalencies need to be revised (e.g., the key sizes need to be increased) or the algorithms are
no longer secure.
