Will post today’s speechy bit from the Oxford Media Convention tomorrow, when brain is less frazzled. Knackered, I am. Meanwhile, Jemima Kiss has done a good job live-blogging the event. All the interest was around Big Brother, seemingly: with Ofcom getting questions about it, then Channel 4’s Andy Duncan doing a bizarre live tv appearance described to me by one journalist as “a car-crash press conference”. I’ve met Andy, and he’s a nice man - though he would appear to urgently needs a fashion advisor.

So instead, tonight for your enjoyment and entertainment, I give you what my brother’s talking about on his blog. A choice quote:

The client constructs B, then C, then A, a hash of SN, some client nonce data CN, some channel binding gunk CB, and C. It then sends CN and (A XOR B) to the server.

If you are any the wiser, please let me know: all I see there is a jumble of words and some initials.

(And some Boolean constructions but if I say that it’ll harm the humorous quality of this post.)
