Why DES s-box non-linear? Why it makes the cracking of the cypher more difficult?

I know that if we have a cypher which makes only linear transformations (let's say a bunch of $XOR$'s), we break it simply writing a system of equations with $\oplus$ operation starting from the ...

Is this ECDHE approach secure?

First of all sorry if this question could be trivial, but I did some researches and it seems to me that this is a standard approach, but I want to be really sure. I'm developing a signed/encrypted ...

What does the encyption part of RSA entail?

As part of an assignment I have to encrypt and decrypt the following two block message (115, 209), using two primes (p = 17, q = 13). e = 5. I computed n to be 221 (17 * 13) and I confirmed that e ...

How was the special DES key 0E329232EA6D0D73 found?

The DES key 0E329232EA6D0D73 has the unusual property that decrypting a ciphertext block consisting entirely of zeros gives a plaintext block consisting of eight repetitions of the same byte (0x87). ...
In identity-based broadcast encryption, suppose the broadcast ciphertext $(r_1,r_2,\dots,r_i,U,W,V)$ is sent to the receiver. In some cases, they use some function $f(x)=k-\prod_{i=1}^{t} (x-v_{i})$ ...
I would like to have a secret sharing scheme with the following properties: Generate secret $S$ a split it to $N$ shares $(s_1, s_2, ..., s_N)$ Require $k$ of $N$ shares in order to reconstruct ...
