There are also military specific parts of GPS that civilian receivers can't access. I don't know if military receivers are ignoring civilian signals, though.

For all intents it's a different system, the packets are encrypted, the right receiver hardware gives you vastly superior accuracy. There's civilian hardware which can use the packets without decrypting them for better accuracy, there's some patents on doing this amusingly.

It's worthwhile to note that not a single once of the thousands of "ICO" things that have been launched in the last year have actually done anything of value. They all generate hype, raise money, and then give up and go to work on other things. It happens over and over again with no memory of the past failures, apparently.

That said I wouldn't fault you for believing that a lot of the $xM raised in x ICO just turned out to be largely the creator seeding the pot and a minority of other people buying into something "big". You could even take out a loan, there's nearly zero risk other than the operator of the ICO running with the scratch.

If your concern is an attacker that can do 128 bits of work, you've got other problems (like reality).

They are not opaque to X-Rays, much less the ludicrous penetrating power used in baggage inspection. Baggage X-rays can happily penetrate inches of metal, nothing short of lead brick will obscure contents and that's going to raise other questions. Where did you get that nonsense from?

How does this handle SSH session re-keying, does that need further authentication from the device? openssh does this pretty infrequently, I can't immediately remember if that needs participation with the asymmetric key or not.

ED: Seems it's just as if you re-did the cipher negotiation, so no asymmetric interaction.

Completely transparent as far as a luggage X-ray is concerned, they're very high power because they don't have to care about exposure limits like medical imaging would. They usually have multiple attenuators and detectors so they can do neat tricks like detection of organic materials.
