The point is that certain large prime numbers (of certain forms) are curated and published in a catalogue because they are notable (in and of themselves). The process you dismiss as trivial allowed Carmody to encode the illegal program as s

Sure, but all the adversary needs is for the user to visit a webpage that makes his/her browser contact the router (i.e. from within the LAN). If the adversary has to take into account defeating the user's password, this becomes a

Respectfully, I think you're missing the point. It's not about any one person being interesting enough. The fifth amendment gives the (American) people a right not to incriminate themselves. The point is that a sizable chunk of th
