I saw a tweet by Bruce Schneier about elliptic curve cryptography,
recommending an article on Ars Technica.<br>
<br>
I start reading it, am reminded of the mysteriously chosen
parameters of the NIST RNG, and that I read about how to choose such
things in a public and honest way.<br>
<br>
And that for makes me wonder about pi, but in hex. (Can't remember
the question before, but all things are new to me at least once.)
So I google "pi in hex".<br>
<br>
And the page I go to begins:<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Here is PI in hexadecimal. I got the values
from <a
href="http://www.rohitab.com/discuss/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=2455">this</a>
ZIP file from Bruce Schneier's site.</blockquote>
<br>
Ah, the circles of life. (Or, possibly the incestuous nature of
life.)<br>
<br>

-kb, the Kent who needs to get back to the Ars article now.<br>
