Re: A backdoor in xz/liblzma tools

Re: Curves workbench

I am not quite sure if I understand what you have tried to show with your example, note that my example is not an actual meaningful part, just a sort of an "edge case" that can help evaluate different methods. Also, the idea with the shadows is just an idea... :roll: A bit of an overview o...
