minus-square BCsven ( @BCsven@lemmy.ca ) linkfedilink12•16 days agoTotally a non issue unless a government arrested somebody with the intent to gain their key because : "The attacks require about $11,000 worth of equipment and a sophisticated understanding of electrical and cryptographic engineering.
