### What are the security implications of an AES implementation that uses only 8-bit byte operations on the cipher state?

Some AES implementations in crypto libraries make use only 8-bit byte operations on the cipher state, like in the lorawan-parser (cf lib/aes.h). When I try to understand the implications of that, I ...

### (Looking for reference) Variants of Diffie-Hellman

Sorry for asking a non-pure-crypto question but I think that crypto.SE might be the right place to find the right people to answer this: I remember having seen a few years ago, online and in HTML ...

### Authentication protocol which detects client impersonation from another machine

Consider following authentication protocol. Client ClientA knows some initial secret KeyA shared with server. Client also knows IP of legitimate server. Now when client wants to establish connection ...

### A standard extension of ECIES for multiple recipients (broadcast / multiparty)?

I have one sender, and a small number (~5) of recipients. The sender knows each recipient's public EC key. I want the sender to broadcast a single message in such a way that any one of the recipients ...

### What is cryptographic agility?

I keep seeing the term "Cryptographic Agility" referenced. What does it mean? For instance: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb204775(v=vs.85).aspx One of the key value ...

### How do I prove that a bit by bit PKE scheme (that is IND-CPA secure) for an n-bit message is not IND-CCA-2 secure?

Gen generates Pk and Sk (l bits each), Enc encrypts m (length l) but by bit using each bit of Pk respectively, Dec decrypts ciphertext bit by bit using each bit of Sk respectively. How do I prove this ...

### What type of encryption scheme can prevent cheating in this coin flip protocol? [duplicate]

Consider the following protocol for two parties to flip a fair coin: Trusted party $T$ publishes her public key $p_k$ A chooses a random bit $b_A$, encrypts it under $p_k$, and announces the ...

### Could Riemann hypothesis solve certainly RSA?

I don't have the background for dealing with Riemann hypothesis but is well known that covers the prime distribution below a specified number. In order to solve the RSA problem you have to factor the ...

### Sorting over encrypted data with different symmetric keys

I'm working on a security project. I need to perform a sorting on the lists of encrypted integers and strings. The encryption used is symmetric. The clients send the encrypted data in a list to the ...

### CMAC for messages shorter than 128bit

RFC4493 describes the generation of AES-CMAC and padding for messages with length > sizeof(aes128_key). However I need to generate the CMAC for a series of messages shorter than 16 byte. So I'd like ...

### trusted platform module prototype

I have a Java card, which I like to learn more about by installing my own TPM on it. One, which I can kind of "kick the tires", install root keys, send different command to, and ... without fear of ...

### Symmetrical Block Encryption with Synchronised Remote Key Change

I'm considering a theoretical design of a walkie talkie, with strong encryption. My current idea is to use symmetrical block encryption, but with the key changing at regular time intervals without a ...

### RSA Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding Beginner

I'm new to the OAEP scheme. I learn it from the Wikipedia page. Link The page does not explain a proper setup for of the system. So I'm not sure if the output of the padding scheme which contains ...

### Given $g,g^t$ in a cyclic group of order $pq$, is it hard to compute $g^{t^{-1}}$?

Suppose we have a group $G$ cyclic of order $pq$ , where $p,q$ are primes. Let $g$ be a generator of $G$ and $t\in \mathbb{Z}_{pq}$. Having $g$ and $g^t$, it seems to be very hard to find ...
