Most likely authentication. He'll e-mail the reporter and include the input that hashes to the value. This way, the reporter can be sure it's him.

You must not have a full grasp of how HN operates.

If all it takes to get into a Wired article is to regurgitate information already plentifully available online, I'm pretty worried about Wired's future.

While the comment was substantive and linked to sources, this is normal for HN and nothing special.

How about you contact the guy who posted the article? He's the CRO from F-Secure, one of the research companies that was linked to as a source.

I really hope Wired doesn't start using random comments as "experts" in articles.
