Nah, just a guy that read the entire comment tree.
While I agree with you that there’s a very very high likelihood of the conversation being recorded in some form or another and likely through a side channel, I feel that your “my sweet child… do you not think the NSA can break encryption” comment to be both condescending to the person you replied to, and hypocritical to the comment I replied to.
Neither you nor I are cryptographers. We can’t attest to the security or lack thereof of published cryptographic algorithms.
You can’t just be a good cryptographer to break a sound encryption. It doesn’t work that way. You’re basically saying you know p=np which is… I’ll just say bold
I worked decades in the phone business. So, I kinda know how it works. Back in the day, we’d call this an invitation to a dick measurement. Not interested
That’s very exciting for you I suppose, my dad works at Nintendo. People can claim whatever they want on the Internet. You’ll have to forgive me for not being impressed by your unverifiable bona fides.
Everybody is an expert
I see the pot is calling the kettle black.
But I never claimed to be an expert. Is this the same guy I just blocked?

Your last sentence is true. It is also true that members of the NSA are cryptographers, and plenty good at it too.

Another expert heard from. Thans for the Input
Why talk down to someone with a valid point calling them a sweet child and then complain you’re not an expert, I don’t get what your stance is here
My sweet child. Bold of you to assume the commenter knows what p=np means. :)
My stance for this conversation is amused
Don’t need to be an expert to know they’ve changed algorithms and recommended key lengths based on non-public information in the past.
If they allow an algorithm for their own data, it’s unlikely they can easily break it.
They have other ways of listening to your phone calls. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/photos-of-an-nsa-upgrade-factory-show-cisco-router-getting-implant/

I thought I told you I wasn’t interested
Interested enough to respond apparently. It’s cute that you think you have some authority here though.
Well, I do have the authority to block someone who needlessly continues to bother me.
