Two formulas work for this three-pass exchange problem, but I can't figure out why one of them works

Problem statement: "Suppose that users Alice and Bob carry out the 3-pass Diffie-Hellman protocol with p = 101. Suppose that Alice chooses a 1 = 19 and Bob chooses b 1 = 13. If Alice wants to ...

What would happen if the last message in a three-pass authentication protocol was undelivered?

I did read some articles about the protocol but couldn't figure out what would happen. Would the two parties be unable to verify each other? Or would it be something else? based on the international ...

Would a OTP No-Key Protocol work?

Consider Shamir's No-Key protocol. What if you substitute the asymmetric operations with XOR, each party using an ephemeral OTP. It's symmetric, so you could apply the protocol scheme as if it were ...

With known ciphertext and plaintext, find other party's Three Pass Protocol Key?

If I'm the second party participating in a three pass protocol (for simplicity, let's say Shamir's Three Pass Protocol) such that: Bob sends me a ciphertext I encrypt it and send it back He removes ...

3 pass protocol

suppose we have 3 matrix named A,B,C (2x2, 3x3, 10x10 or whatever). As we know A^(-1) A C B B^(-1)=C So i take a file and convert it to numbers e.g. ASCII code (lets say 65,72,71...) and i add a ...

Does there exist an agreeable algorithm to substitute XOR function in Shamir's no Key Protocol?

I think Shamir's no key protocol (also known as three-pass protocol) is a secure cryptography scheme but the designer only proposed the XOR function to encrypt the message which could be easily broken ...
