### Looking For Additively Homomorphic Encryption

I have a construction that requires as primitive an Additively Homomorphic Encryption scheme that does not rely on hidden group order, meaning I can't use Paillier. I now have two different ...

### Application of Cryptography in Auditing [closed]

Recently due to some reasons, I have to come up with some applications of cryptography in auditing. My major is cryptography especially the cryptographic protocols. I'm not familiar with auditing, I ...

### Streaming API to authenticated encryption

In regards to NaCl, I asked DJB he had any intent to add a streaming API to an authenticated cipher. His response was obvious in retrospect, that one should never release a decrypted plaintext before ...

### Generating a valid signature on El-Gamal without knowing the private key

Suppose we are given $p$, the large prime, $g$ which is the primitive root for $p$, $b$ which is calculated as $b=g^x$ mod $p$ where $x$ is the private key and $0<x<p-1$. Also suppose we know ...

### Are there any proofs of the SHA1 compression function's (second-)preimage resistance?

Why is SHA1 preimage-resistant? The best reference that I can find is Rogaway & Shrimpton's 2009 paper, and I'll use their definitions. The kind of preimage resistance that is wanted is aPre. ...

### Interactive assumptions not falsifiable?

Can someone explain why an interactive assumption is not falsifiable? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what the statement means, but isn't even a non-interactive assumption interactive, but just with a zero ...

### Fermats Little Theorem, primitive root [closed]

So I am studying for finals and I am not able to solve the problem: Let $p = 3 * 2^{11484018}- 1$ be a prime with 3457035 digits. Find a positive integer $x$ so that $2^x\equiv 3\pmod p$ Any ...
Let's say, I have a group $G$ of large prime order $p$. A set $S$ consists of $n$ random elements chosen from $G$. Without using a collision resistant hash function $H$, how can I map elements of $G$ ...
