I wonder if one could build an information-theoretically secure private messenger using one-time pads?
For one thing, it would be secure against all Harvest Now, Decrypt Later attacks, including those from quantum computers.
If you meet your counterparty regularly (say, if you know them IRL), the encryption part could be done by connecting two devices together to exchange as much key material as you can whenever you meet with them.
When I asked about this in a chat room, I was told authentication was needed. And that Poly1305 was an information-theoretically secure authentication mechanism.
Cc: @eoaiuastwg You're the first person on fedi I could think of who dabbles in cryptography. What do you think about this?

@supergrobi @mastodonmigration @KamalaHarrisWin If his aim is to get people to vote for Trump, he's being more indirect about it than that.
@admitsWrongIfProven @VeroniqueB99 I think humans have killed more cows than the other way around
@admitsWrongIfProven It was a joke. I was laughing at the person in the vid.
Does power multiply evil more than good?
Is it more likely to attract people the more evil those people are?

P2P file transfers via Jingle are not encrypted.
Damn.
Is it possible to have power that isn't evil?
I reckon that power is merely a multiplier for whatever tendencies exist in a person already. And is there any person who is 100% good?
(Not sure if this is true or not but decided to post anyway as a conversation starter)

Millions to be handed health-monitoring smart watches by NHS
Devices to track blood pressure and cancer recovery to be given out under 10-year plan to save health service https://archive.ph/oFuIG
This feels dystopian.

I take it they are the more statist kind of socialists then lol

Say, with a hash and a size. But then maybe there's a risk of code after that being executed?
