Efficient algorithm for remainder calculation over prime field for ECC implementation?
I am working on 224-bit elliptic curve cryptography. In this 224-bit * 224-bit multiplication results 448-bit output. I am reducing 448-bit into prime field range( prime number $2^{224}-2^{96}+1$) ...

How can I prove in zero knowldege that an ElGamal shuffle is correct for a special setting? [closed]
In a special ElGamal encryption scheme, every user has an ElGamal encryption key-pair using the same cyclic group $G$ and generator $g$.
The system has a special function :
$$ ...

Can ElGamal encryption and ElGamal signatures be used together sharing the same key-pairs?
I'm working on a encryption system where each party can store exactly a single ElGamal private key in a device. This is a hardware limit. The system must be expanded to support signatures and ...

Are any of the major asymmetric ciphers distinguishable (EG, RSA, ECC) ?
Related to this question.
Given ciphertexts generated by any of the major asymmetric ciphers (RSA, ElGamal, ECC, etc..) can these ciphertexts be distinguished from random noise? Justify why, why ...
