Re: New paper on Security and Obscurity

[stephane nasdrovisky <stephane.nasdrovisky () paradigmo com>]

Just a stupid tought inspired by page 7 - B: who will create the first 
satellite with me (i.e. for watching what's doing our ennemy / in order 
to know where he is)? I guess we could earn some $ if we are the first 
on this topic, I hope I'm not too late :-)
Is full-disclosure includes password/shared secret disclosure ? Maybe 
'full' is not the best choosen word.. It seems 'full' is limited to 
algorithms, and do not extend to secrets (such as passwords), what would 
be the use of a safe if the secret (either the code or the key) is 
written on the door (I know .. in case of fire, a safe is safer than the 
fireman and its water). It looks like computer and military security are 
not so different ...I'm continuing to read this paper. Scientific 
American / pour la science had an issue on cryptography/computer 
security about a year ago (no 36 of the french edition)
