Re: [Tails-dev] Goldfish the ephemeral password manager.

Hi Julien,

You didn't Cc Rémi, so I doubt your email reached him. Which might be
just as well, as I personally find the tone of your answer out of
line, and inappropriate. I don't want to take part in a community
where we bully newbies. Let's try to be excellent to each other :)

Note that I trust your technical points are probably correct (without
checking myself), so it's only a matter of how one expresses criticism
about technical issues.

I'm not sure if academic papers would be the best way to learn this
stuff for someone with Rémi's starting point: they are generally full
of good theory, but hard to relate to when one tries to implement
something actually useful, and lacks the academic background.

I think I would instead recommend texts that link more strongly
theoretical cryptography knowledge to practical implementation
requirements, such as Applied Cryptography, or the Secure Programming
Howto. I'd love to hear more suggestions of such readings, by the way.

Cheers!
