CIA/NSA got a whiff of Operation Vula using off the shelf Philips PX-1000 with build in DES and backdoored the product by bribing Philips https://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/philips/px1000/
- I've got a look at his number generator for the secure one-time pad, and Melissa O'Neil would be proud. Almost pcg. It uses the powerbasic system Rand LCG to switch between 3 new rand1-3 functions, two of them with different LCG's.by rurban - 1 week ago

- One thing I found fascinating about Vula was how the lack of usability of the system was its downfall.by edent - 1 week ago
You had highly committed activists, fighting for freedom, up against a murderous regime - and yet they still failed to use the system properly.
Activists left documents unencrypted. Keys were easily obtainable. Some important communications were sent in the clear because people found the software so cumbersome.
We all know that setting up PGP and using it properly is a pain in the neck. Security is usability.

- I find the fall of the South African apartheid pretty fascinating all around. I wasn't really even aware of this aspect. Fun fact, this is where the BDS movement started (boycott, divest, sanction) and the majority opinion at the time was that the apartheid would never end... but after a long time of continuous pressure from many different pressure points, it caused a lot of stress which led to its collapse.by sweeter - 1 week ago
pretty interesting that this was done on a Toshiba T-100. What a neat computer.
