A Tectonic shift in cyberspace. Today the edge and the power is in the hands of the better mathematicians and the bigger computers. We, the people, keep our privacy in cryptography that looks hard and complex to us, but is routinely violated by the mathematical elite. It’s time for a…

National Security Implications You probably have not heard it before because nobody mentions it. Yet, it is an undisputed fact: all short-key ciphers are breakable: every single one! And all the ciphers recommended by the US government are ‘short key ciphers’. Anything so encrypted, is collected and is subject to…

Pattern-Devoid documentation 3D printers and AI generated images have caught up with current material identification technology. Counterfeiters can readily match any refined identification pattern that document and banknote manufacturers can fabricate. The answer therefore is to avoid any established pattern. Introducing pattern-devoid documentation and material identification. Using quantum randomness…

The best way to control people is to give them the illusion of freedom, the sense of self control. In other words, fool them to believe that they are in charge of their own affairs — keep their controller well hidden. Smart wives, for generations, gave their husbands the illusion…

Elon Musk keeps Ukraine connected, the Catholic church feeds Ukrainian refugees, and the digital currency community can put together a stablecoin solution to support trade and life throughout the trying times ahead, which some experts appraise to be years, and many. Today we have the technology to leverage Ukrainian cellphones…

The unrelenting tsunami of crypto money is unsettling central banks around the world. It’s all in the wake of the spectacular success of a money protocol that dictates not only how money is being traded but also how money is being generated — from thin air. It’s magic, and people…

Abstract: Being self-referenced Bitcoin and its ilk are inherently vulnerable to price instability, and the only tool at the traders’ disposal is a well-organized shared incentive to keep the coin alive. Proposing to marshal this incentive by taxing each coin a fixed percentage, and making the network as a whole…

Neither card payment, nor crypto payment today can replace the US minted coins and banknotes because they robbed people from the basic experience of bilateral payment. Two strangers may pass a bundle of dollars from hand to hand, and no one except them will know about it. If they use…

Almost fifty years ago a few young esoteric mathematicians brought to the world the intellectual milestone of public/private key cryptography, which over the last decades has taken society into cyberspace, enabling e-commerce, and assembling e-reality. When public/private cryptography was still an academic curiosity, a not so young physicist, Richard Feynman…
