I firmly believe that Peter's conclusion [1] is correct:
"COMPLEXITY IS THE ENEMY OF SECURITY"
So we must find practical ways to solve the complexity
problem or at least to tackle it. But bear in mind what
Einstein once said:
"Everything should be made as simple as possible *but no simpler.*"
There are limits to reducing complexity (to avoid the term
simplicity). If we cannot find compelling answers to the
complexity problem in Cryptography the churn will continue.
If you have any idea how to attack the complexity problem,
hammer it out and post it here, it might be developed into
a candidate for consent.
Be practical and be constructive.
