Hi folks,
Storing a 32 bytes file which contains '17' followed by 30 zeros leads
to the following read capability:
URI:LIT:ge3qaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Here's the file content in hex.
0000000 3731 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
0000010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
0000020
It looks weird to me to see a cryptographically-secure identifier which
doesn't look random enough. Wouldn't such feature lead to potential attacks?
