  • I’m no cryptographer, so take this with a good heap of salt.

    Basically, all encryption multiplies some big prime numbers to get the key. Computers are pretty slow at division and finding the right components used to create the key takes a long time, it’s basically trial and error at the moment.
    If you had an algorithm to solve for prime numbers, you could break any current encryption scheme and obviously cause a lot of damage in the wrong hands.












  • Where did you get that “RFC standard” regex? It doesn’t allow domain names with one component RFC5321

    Neither does it allow spaces in quoted string, as per RFC5322

    This, 👋@✉️.gg, is already a working email address in most clients and if RFC6532 ever gets accepted, it would be officially recognized as such.

    My point isn’t to make your regex bad, just that it doesn’t validate or invalidate an email properly. Nothing stops me from giving you and invalid but syntactically correct email after all.
    You have to send an email anyways to verify, so the most you can check is the presence of one @ symbol.
