### Where is the key in white-box AES cryptography?

After an initial study of white-box cryptography, specially around the first article (Chow et. al.), I understood each step of transforming the lookup tables of AES into new ones. If I understood it ...

### “NP-complete” authentication systems

Are there any symmetric authentication systems based on the hardness of an NP-complete problem? I understand that it doesn't really matter, since NP-completeness is about the worst case, and in crypto ...

### We can obtain “absolutely perfect CONFIDENTIALITY” using the one-time pad. Is there such a thing as “absolutely perfect INTEGRITY”? [duplicate]

The OTP (one-time pad) gives us perfect secrecy. This is the very best confidentiality available in this universe. (Although it does require large keys, which is beside the point of this question). ...

### Feasible attacks on ECRSA cryptosystem

In ECRSA cryptosystem, I want to know the feasible attacks. For illustrations we have two prime $p$ and $q$ such that $p \equiv 2 \pmod 3$, $q \equiv 2 \pmod 3$ and generate key pair as follows: n = ...

### In Paillier homomorphism, how do you deal with bit length? [closed]

I'm trying to figure out homomorphic encryption and would like to multiply two paillier encrypted numbers. Like so: [a].[b]=[a+b] To try this I got this Paillier.java and tried the following: <...

### How can I instantiate a generalized hash function?

I've come across a bunch of "strange" hash function notations, such as the following ones and now I don't know how to choose / instantiate them. Can you please explain me what this notation means and ...

### elliptic curve and embedding degree

I am new in ECC. I am confused what the embedding degree in elliptic curve represents and what is the impact of its values on the curve and security ( small values or large values? What does the ...

### Build a hash function that returns a digest in $\mathbb{Z}_{N}^{\ast}$

I want to know if there is a way to build a Hash Function in a such way? $\mathcal{H}:{\left\{ {0,1} \right\}^*} \to \mathbb{Z}_{N}^{\ast}$, $N=pq$ and where $p,q$ are primes.

### How is a hash function that implements random oracle model collision resistance?

ROM is considered as collision resistance. Does ROM assume there is an infinite set of output, or assume the output set is always larger than the input set? Because by the pigeonhole principle, ROM is ...

### Prime factorization of 700 decimal digits number

I'm a newbie to encryption. If I create a number 'n' as a product of two prime numbers 'p' and 'q' with the following specifications: 'p' is a fully random prime with 300 decimal digits in length. 'q'...
