In this web content, the author discusses the use of custom parameters in cryptography and argues against their implementation. They highlight that using standardized parameters is safer and more efficient. The author also explores the historical context of parameter generation and emphasizes the need for secure systems that do not rely on the randomness of parameters. They mention specific examples such as the Logjam attack and the vulnerabilities associated with custom curves. The author concludes by stating that modern cryptography is better off with fixed parameter sets. No controversial information is present in the content.
