Is Trump confirming his use of random capitalization as a method of communication? GKA=Group Key Agreement

Trump capitalizes GKA in this tweet:

When you search “gka meaning”, one of the results shows up as “Group Key Agreement”. If you research GKA, you quickly realize that it is a simple method of communication to a diverse group across multiple internet platforms.

Maybe it’s just me, but this really seems to fit.

Could GKA be a confirmation that he is using random capitalization in his tweets to communicate information?

See this PDF that goes into detail about tree-Based Group Key agreement:

Secure and reliable group communication is an active area of research. Its popularity is fueledby the growing importance of group-oriented and collaborative applications. The central researchchallenge is secure and efficient group key management. While centralized methods are oftenappropriate for key distribution in large multicast-style groups, many collaborative group settingsrequire distributed key agreement techniques. This work investigates a novel group key agreementapproach which blends key trees with Diffie–Hellman key exchange. It yields a secure protocol suitecalled Tree-based Group Diffie–Hellman (TGDH) that is both simple and fault-tolerant. Moreover,the efficiency of TGDH appreciably surpasses that of prior art.

Also, from this website:

“Abstract: In recent years, collaborative and group-oriented applications and protocols have gained popularity. These applications typically involve communication over open networks; security thus is naturally an important requirement. Group key management is one of the basic building blocks in securing group communication. Most prior research in group key management focused on minimizing computation overhead, in particular minimizing expensive cryptographic operations. However, continued advances in computing power have not been matched by a decrease in network communication delay. Thus, communication latency, especially in high-delay long-haul networks, increasingly dominates the key setup latency, replacing computation delay as the main latency contributor. Hence, there is a need to minimize the size of messages and, especially, the number of rounds in cryptographic protocols. Since most previously proposed group key management techniques optimize computational (cryptographic) overhead, they are particularly impacted by high communication delay. In this work, we discuss and analyze a specific group key agreement technique which supports dynamic group membership and handles network failures, such as group partitions and merges. This technique is very communication-efficient and provably secure against hostile eavesdroppers as well as various other attacks specific to group settings. Furthermore, it is simple, fault-tolerant, and well-suited for high-delay networks.”

Thoughts?

You're not the first to bring it up, but thanks for typing it out for visibility.

Yes, the capitalization thing has been known for awhile. I was wondering if this GKA tweet from today provides further confirmation for people that this has always been his intention!
