### Usage of 3DES for single block

I have a device, HASP, which has functionality to encrypt 8 byte data using 3DES in ECB mode, with three different keys, I am interested how secure is this? I know it might not be most secure, but how ...

### Can a Cramer-Shoup public key have two different private keys?

Since I am new to the Cramer-Shoup algorithm, I would like to know: Is it possible to have two different private keys for a public key due the key pair generation algorithm that Cramer-Shoup uses? I ...

### Creating a message authentication scheme

I have such situation. I have a device like dongle. But it has certain limitations. For example, it can only have implemented encryption and decryption functionality. The availability of ciphers ...

### Subscript R notation for the finite fields

I'm trying to understand the notation used in the literature for Pairing-based cryptography. I know (and I hope I've understood it well) from Wikipedia that $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is the finite field of ...

### How to verify a signature with openssl methods from the ECDSA class?

I'm trying to verify my signature like I explained in my question before. But I have some problems to program my own verification without the verify methods of openssl. Therefore I'm going on to use ...

### Should we use modulus switching when dealing with ciphertexts encrypted in different rings?

Having a homomorphic encryption scheme like BGV or LTV-FHE at some point it is possible in the homomorphic evaluation to deal with ciphertexts that are encrypted with respect to different moduli. ...

### With HMAC, can an attacker recover the key, given many known plaintext/tag pairs?

Given many pairs of $(m, t)$, can the attacker compute the key $k$ satisfying $\text{HMAC}(k,m) = t$? (Assume that $k$ was chosen at random.)

### Can we use merely permutation to hide a message?

This question is related to this: When all shares of a secret are given to adversary as a permuted matrix I think the below question is a simplified version of that. Assume we have a 40-bit ...

### What's the best way to pad a message?

Currently my padding is adding a string of random characters $l(N)/3 - (l(M) + 1)$ Long and just adding it to the messages, is this sufficient? $l(x)$ = length of a variable
