### Can we provide Authentication without key using hash?

We are doing research on the topic called "Authentication without key using hash". But it should not be using MAC and smart cards. We read many articles but we didn't figure it out. Is there any ...

### References for combining LFSRs with different lengths and taps?

I started learning streams ciphers with the use of LFSRs. Therefore, I tried to simulate what I am learning in a C sourcecode, which combines three registers and ...

### How to sign an Elliptic curve point using an ECC signature scheme

In Shnorr based ECC signature scheme, a message M is signed with the private key sk as s=sk.h(M,R)+k where R=k.P and P is a base point. If M is a point (x,y) \in E_p(a,b), how we can sign M in this ...

### With AES-GCM, can the encrypted and non-encrypted parts be hashed separately? [duplicate]

The hash function in AES-GCM takes encrypted and unencrypted parts. Can the two parts be provided in either order? I'm wondering whether there is any fun with $GF(2^{128})$ that can be done to ...

### IV re-use for Salsa20 [duplicate]

Are their any specific requirements for the IV when using Salsa20? Is it for example allowed to re-use the same IV when encrypting with the same session key? Should the IV be random? etc I tried to ...

### Are there key collisions in AES-192, AES-256?

Suppose we have a single, fixed plaintext block $p$ of 128 bits. Call the set of all possible 128 bit blocks $B$. We could define fixed plaintext AES-128 as a function $f(k) \to B$ that takes a 128 ...

### Which parameters of the ATV-FHE scheme should be kept private?

I try to implement the ATV-FHE scheme as it is described in section 2 of this paper. I also read this paper that says how parameters should be chosen. Are there some parameters that must be kept ...

### How can I turn this cipher into a perfect cipher by altering only its encryption algorithm?

Given a toy cipher that picks a key, k, from the key space of {00,01,10} and a message,m, from the same set {00,01,10} and encrypts using E = m ⊕ k. How can I change the encryption function E in ...
