Post-quantum cryptography

2013-08-10 Thread Mirco Richter
It is long known, that almost all asymetric cyphers that are of practical importance today, are easiely broken, using Shor's algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor's_algorithm which can only run on a "quantum computer". In particular every inverse logarithm and prime factorization based c

Is there some GUI-front-end for (at least) the wlan related functionality of ifconfig? (No need to argue here, about the flexability of ifconfig and the restrictions of any GUI-approach) The point is, that using OBSD as a workstation on a laptop, requires a lot of authentification at different
