### What is a purpose of reducing lattice basis?

This may be too broad question but it is not. I have been studying lattices for few months now, more specifically I studied: lattice problems ($SVP$, $CVP$ and etc.) lattice cryptography in post ...

### ElGamal scheme signature: if private key a mod p is equal to private sig. key k mod p-1, can an attacker notice and determine the value of a?

If someone is signing a document using the ElGamal signature scheme, and if the random involved in the signature $k \mod (p-1)$ is equal to $a$ (the private key), can an attacker notice? If so can he ...

### Shannon theorem of perfect secrecy

From the class: Shannon Theorem: For a perfect encryption scheme, the number of keys is at least the size of the message space (number of messages that have a non-zero probability). Proof: ...

### How secure would hand ciphers be using a Block Cipher Mode?

I've been looking into different ciphers that require very minimal computation power (calculator, deck of cards, index cards and a pencil), i.e. hand ciphers. For the most part all methods typically ...

### Detecting Encryption in Real-Time

Is there anyway to detect encryption in real-time through a common signature or pattern recognition. Say, a file is being encrypted using an AES-256 cipher, if I have access to the file stream - can ...

### How should I implement a secure recovery of encryption?

I want to create a system to host as securely as possible encrypted data in a way that not even the system can know the content of the data, but that it could be recovered. I would like to know how ...

### Bitwise method of generating r for RSA-KEM

It seems that RSA-KEM has a very troublesome method of generating the secret $r$. It seems that the random value needs to be in the range $0 \le r \le {n - 1}$. Now most cryptographic environments ...

### HMAC Secure Key Exchange?

Within RFC 2104 section 3 there is discussion around keys (below). How are these keys agreed upon/distributed? Practically speaking is asymmetric crypto a requirement to "bootstrap" and distribute ...

### Authenticated encryption with Enc-Sign-Mac

I've given a CPA secure private key encryption scheme, an unforgeable private key MAC scheme and an unforgeable public key signature scheme. I want to combine them to protect confidentiality, ...

### elliptic curve point doubling in Jacobian coordinates

I am writing an application that uses Elliptic curve Diffie–Hellman for authentication. I found two formulas for point doubling in Jacobian coordinates. 1st) X_1 = (3x^2 + aZ^4)^2 ...
Let $X,X',Y,Y'$ be some distribution ensembles such that $X\sim X'$ and $Y\sim Y'$, where $\sim$ means computational indistinguishable. Define $(X,Y)$ be the distribution ensemble over $\{0,1\}^{2n}$ ...
