Let us gen your privkeys or ZOMG THE PLANET DIES!!1!1

Our batch prime-generation algorithm suggests that, to help reduce energy consumption and protect the environment, all users of RSA — including users of traditional pre-quantum RSA — should delegate their key-generation computations to NIST or anohter trusted third party. This speed improvement would also allow users to generate new RSA keys and erase old RSA keys more frequently, limiting the damage of key theft.⁴

If you told me this was a parody of NSA disinfo, I'd believe it. But apparently, it's a serious paper by djb and Heninger. What happened? Did they finally crack djb, maybe after tying him to the Appelbaum mess? I had hopes for him because ``Keeping crypto insecure'' was talking about stuff TLAs certainly didn't want to see in the spotlight, but this is incredibly disappointing. When I read this passage for the first time I actually laughed for five minutes straight because it was so ridiculous.

NIST has your best interests at heart

NIST is the whitest of the white scientists.

You don't need encryption if you have nothing to hide.

But your post only has one.

I already read it the first time, once is enough. ``Raises security questions'' is the understatement of the fucking century and its inclusion doesn't change that to argue that centralized key generation saves the environment borders on satire.

We should all program in assembly to save the environment

It could be true though, it saves the NSA cranking up their coal-powered super-computers everytime they want to peek inside some highly suspicious unreadable internet traffic

djb is secretly a NIST spy. Why do you think that he supports ECC? That's right, because it needs much less qubits in order to break the current ECC algorithms due to their small key sizes.
What about Poly1305? It's uses only 106 bit keys and provides a 128 bit output.
