tested web browsers with speedometer3.1 on my #openbsd #thinkpad (higher is better)

4.32 vimb
7.36 qutebrowser
7.96 firefox
9.76 iridium
9.78 ungoogled-chromium

notes: when i re-run the tests scores are changing (just slightly); at some point openbsd frozen during vimb test (just once, couldn't reproduce, worked well after reboot)

WPA3

WPA3

I've been writing C code for the WPA3 SAE hash2element derivation algorithm all week, by cross-referencing the 802.11 spec which provides pseudo-code, a debug trace from wpa_supplicant, and source code from hostap.git.

Progressing at an incredible speed of about one line of pseudo-code per day. At this speed I can actually manage to understand what this is doing with hashes and elliptic curves, even though I'm not a trained mathematician ​

Each line of pseudo-code translates to about a dozen lines of C. My prototype uses libcrypto but eventually parts of this will need to run with 32-bit integer curve arithmetic in the OpenBSD kernel, probably with code I can generate with fiat-crypto.
