https://ninjanichols.com/2013/08/why-256-bit-symmetric-keys-are-enough
The discipline of programming. Why 256-bit Symmetric Keys are Enough. August 17th, 2013. Recently Google announced that they are upgrading their SSL certificates. From 1024-bit keys to 2048-bit keys. SSL uses asymmetric cryptography which requires much larger keys than symmetric cryptography to get equivalent security, and so increasing sophisticated cracking hardware is forcing the move from 1024 to 2048-bit keys. But what about our symmetric ciphers? The answer is simply, no. Ergs every time it set or ...

The discipline of programming. Rare Database Entries and Partial Indexes. September 26th, 2014. Today I discovered that PostgreSQL supports partial indexes. And I’ll share my scenario for when a partial index has a number of space/speed advantages over a traditional index. The staging area happens to have a special coordinate (-1, -1), so my query becomes:. SELECT object pk FROM objects WHERE col=-1 AND row=-1;. This is where the partial index comes in. Partial indexes can be very useful in some spec...

The discipline of programming. PowerShell Variable Followed by Colon. August 14th, 2013. I’ve got a little PowerShell script that writes some configuration settings. In it there’s a line that computes a certain URL for a given subdomain:. Url = http:/ $subdomain.ninjanichols.com:8080/. Pretty standard stuff.
