I’ve been a redditor for 2 years. Never posted
My first post So this is what it feels like to go from never posting a day in your life to casting out every day to see which fish will bite and I’m assuming every fish looks big when it’s your first time right ? Well either way please overwhelm …
Why is using Argon2id to generate an SSH key insecure?
The idea I have is a secure password into Argon2id using NaCl(truncated to 32 bytes), then use NaCl to turn that into a secret key that SSH will happily accept. I have managed to get OpenSSH to accept a key generated in this manner, and it was able to connect …
Understanding HiAE - High-Throughput Authenticated Encryption Algorithm
I saw Frank Denis (\`libsodium\` author) mention this on social media, stating: \> Until the Keccak or Ascon permutations receive proper CPU acceleration, the AES round function remains the best option for building fast ciphers on common mobile, desktop, and server CPUs. HiAE is the latest approach to this. is …
Password-based authentication of Kyber public keys
For a while now I have been messing around with a custom protocol for a pure P2P encrypted file transfer tool which uses password-based authentication, and was finally able to compile the bits and pieces I developed over a couple of months. Could this work as a PAKE alternative? What …
International Cryptographic Module Conference: Worth It?
For those of you that have attended the International Cryptographers Conference (https://icmconference.org/)--would you say the experience was worth it? I am planning on going myself. If you don't think it was worth it how come? If you do think it was worth it what did you wish you knew before …
Possibility of TDA showing up in cryptography
Last semester, I had to write a paper about the applications of topological data analysis(TDA) in the world. My mind gravitated toward the possibility of applying TDA to cryptography. I had tried to think up a system or algorithm for this purpose but failed to (I’m just not smart enough …
Why aren't CEX and DEX coins more popular
Titel says it all. Looking at BNB or OKB, i always wonder why CEX and DEX coins aren't more popular among redditors. At the end of the day: If crypto turns out to just be a gambling space, the exchanges are the casinos and the casino always wins.
Best Resources To Learn Mathematics and Notation For Cryptography?
What are the best resources to learn mathematics and notation for cryptography?
Could I Use Homomorphic Encryption On Decentralized Virtual Machines To Encrypt Data Using A Secret Key.
Is this possible?
