[Security] Major Cryptographic Algorithms Broken by Quantum Bogodynamics
It is definitely not April Fools' Day, but the article
Crypto researchers abuzz over flaws will probably make you think it is. As if all of the nasty viruses and worms and buffer overruns of late aren't enough, now MD4, MD5, HAVAL-128, RIPEMD, SHA-1, and other basic cryptographic algorithms currently in heavy production usage are under severe mathematical attack.
I think the only reasonable non-Occamian (Null-O) theory is that we must have recently experienced a serious rise in bogon flux density. It's obvious (TM) that
bogons and
psytons have started poking their holes not only through electronic equipment but also even through basic theories and abstractions of all types.
Quantum bogodynamics has evolved into the abstract realm! Start boning up on your
quantum compudynamics or we are surely lost. Hmmmmmm? Perhaps we're lost, anyway.
"Caveat everybody! She's gonna' blow!"
