I had a very productive week at #ietf114! Got a ton of things done esp. in #OAuth WG - SD-JWT went to call for adoption, security BCP advanced, and @__b_c pushed DPoP forward. Looking forward to London in November!

No it ain’t. Universally, “100” has long been a round number used to convey there being an abundance of something. “40” has never been that. 40 Celsius means something to you, because you grew with that. To people who didn’t, it’s not a big enough number to signify anything.

IETF 114 reminded me how important the in person social hallway, bar and dinner conversations are to standards development.

They had this idea that talking publicly about security problems (in locks) is without value, dangerous, and inherently suspicious, and should be reserved for “official” members of their trade. I don’t agree with them about this.

I just learned that there's a coven of locksmiths STILL mad at me because of this paper I published twenty years ago. So let me repost it here.
