Turgis (crater)

Turgis /ˈtɜːrdʒɪs/ is the second largest known crater on Saturn's moon Iapetus, after Abisme.[1][2] It is 580 km in diameter,[3] 40% of the moon's diameter and one of the larger craters in the Solar System. It is named after a Saracen baron, Turgis of Turtelose (Tortosa).[3]

The 580km Turgis crater on Saturn's moon Iapetus.

It is located in Cassini Regio at 16.9°N 28.4°W / 16.9; -28.4.[3] The rim has a scarp about 15 km high that generated a landslide.[4] It is overlain by Malun, the 13th-largest crater on Iapetus.

gollark: No, you would keep one counter per client.
gollark: You can keep a counter on each side, increment it when a message is sent/received, and ignore any with the wrong value, or just send a time (encrypted) and complain if it's more than a second or so off.
gollark: Replay attacks are easy enough to deal with.
gollark: Possibly. But you run into a similar issue to the symmetric encryption thing: what if someone steals a device with access to it and/or reads the keys off?
gollark: If you trust all the devices which you'll want accessing the banking server, you could use symmetric encryption.
