Riflettere su questo tempo, mi porta indietro nel tempo di ~25 anni (seconda meta' anni 90), ossia agli albori dell'SSL, i primissimi siti web che potevano essere consultati "solo" via https, ossia, in modo "cifrato". Al tempo, gli USA (dove vivevano gli inventori dell'algoritmo RSA), avevano imposto delle restrizioni all'export: il browser (ai tempi, "Netscape Navigator") che era destinato all'export, ossia utilizzabile fuori dagli USA, portava con se il limite di una "chiave di codifica" da 40 byte. Viceversa, la versione "home" (quella per il mercato USA) supportava chiavi da 128 bit, ai tempi ben piu' robuste. La distinzione 40_bit_per_l'export/128_bit_per_USA era VINCOLANTE perché gil USA equipararono la "crittografia 'forte'" (quella da 128 bit) alle ARMI. E siccome l'export delle ARMI era fortmente regolamentato, l'unico modo per evitarla era "rilassarne" la forza. Ai tempi, sorridevo a quell'equiparazione. Non la capivo. Oggi... quasi la rimpiango, e vorrei venisse riesumata in altri contesti (...ma credo sia tardi) :-( Un saluto, DV Il 11/02/23 19:28, vincenzo.ciancia ha scritto:
