New online (streaming) authenticated encryption scheme (FLOE)
Finally I can reveal something that I've spent the last year working on! Let me present FLOE (Fast Lightweight Online Encryption). It's a new online authenticated encryption scheme which is designed to meet real world requirements. We provide a [public standard, reference implementations, and test vectors](https://github.com/snowflake-labs/floe-specification) (on GitHub) and have …
Security World - nfast
Hi Crypto, I have the typical ebay purchase HSM. I am not looking to use it securely, more of a lab learning effort. To my knowledge to get the Thales nCipher HSM to work, I need a “Security World”. I have been pretty through, however cannot find the download. I …

Symmetric Encryption Algorithm Suggestions
**Context:** I'm developing an app where I have a "secure" folder. At this point it's basically a location on the file system with sensitive data. If you're using K8s or Docker this is your secrets location that you mount to your container. If you're running this locally it's really no …
Modern PDF signing utility written in Rust, creates an Adobe-compatible detached OpenPGP (GPG) signature and appends it to the PDF, making it easy to sign and verify documents without dragging in heavyweight PDF signing stacks.
# pdf-sign PDF signing utility written in Rust that supports both **OpenPGP (GPG)** and **Sigstore (keyless OIDC)** signatures, appending cryptographic signatures directly to PDFs, making it easy to sign and verify documents without heavyweight PDF signing stacks, making your PDFs authentic, tamper-proof, while being fully compatible with regular readers.

Is a 10x speedup over GMP for 2-adic inversion unusual? Looking for context.
Hi, Go easy on me because I'm new to Reddit. I've been experimenting with specialized 2-adic modular inversion (computing d^(-1) mod 2^n for odd integers) using fixed-width big (unsigned) integers. I'm seeing significantly better performance than I expected, and I'd appreciate some context from people who know the landscape better …
