### PGP public RSA key format

I have been trying to use Go (I could post the code, but I think I posted enough already...) to generate a PGP RSA key. However every time I try to encrypt something with it, something fails. However, ...

### Finding public exponent e

I'm trying to create an algorithm to find the public exponent e given a plain (non-CRT) private key that doesn't include the public exponent, i.e. I've only got $n$ and $d$. A question has already ...

### Executing encrypted code? [closed]

I want a code 'black box' that receives data inputs, processes those inputs, then sends out the outputs. I want the code to be encrypted, or somehow obfuscated. Is there any known way to do achieve ...

### Huffman encoding of hashes

I have a huge list of MD5 hashes, which takes up quite some space. I was wondering if I would acheive (some) compression, by encoding the characters (which are A-F 0-9), with huffman coding. I made a ...

### Has a collision ever been found for SHA-1/2/3 when truncated to 128 bits?

I'm aware that MD5 is broken, and collisions have been found for it. I'm interested in other hashes (SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3) when truncated to the same digest size, i.e. 128 bits. The time complexity of ...

### CCA secure or not?

Let $F : \{0,1\}^n \times \{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$ be a PRF. And let the encryption function be $Enc{_k}(m) = r || (F{_k}(m) \bigoplus r \bigoplus 0^n)$ , where r's value is random. Is this ...
