Re: password-free SSH was Re: [ot] Security of my bit coin wallet

use passwords when speaking the protocol and establish some sort of reality to host mapping. Remember we can never actually verify anything in the internet due to MITM. We can just increase our probability of success while decreasing the attack surface for dictionaries. What do you think? Cheers, James

password-free SSH was Re: [ot] Security of my bit coin wallet

does not count as password-free. My motivation is turn the internet upside down. Does any current crypto mechanism come to mind? A possible example is the use of Diffie-Hellman at the network layer to identify hosts. I think that would be password-free. > Thanks, > > -- > Raul >

[ot] Security of my bit coin wallet
