### Does a password that's cracked someone's account increase the chances of cracking someone else's account?

For every find in password that cracks someone's account, does that particular password have a higher probability of cracking someone else's account more than a brute force dictionary choice? How ...

### Symmetric Cipher Providing full and partial decryption

Let us have Video Data $D$ and we want to encrypt the data in such a way that upon decryption we have multiple decryption keys which will give us full or either partial decryption depending on the ...

### Should RSA primes p and q differ in length by “a few digits”?

When generating RSA keys in the original RSA paper it is stated: to gain additional protection against sophisticated factoring algorithms, p and q should differ in length by a few digits Why is ...

### Securely register a client in server using AES an RSA

I've designed the following protocol to send the client's public key to the server. Initially, the client knows server's public key, but the server does not know the client's public key. client ...

### How to use the hardcoded server's public key to register a client application?

I'm designing the security for a smartphone app that can be used to make car reservations. Clients have to register them with their driver's licence through the application and can then book a car. ...

### What is the branch number of this matrix?

We have the following matrix: $$\begin{pmatrix}0&1&1&1\\ 1&0&1&1\\ 1&1&0&1\\ 1&1&1&0\end{pmatrix}$$ What is the branch number? Is this a MDS marix?

### How to generate many passwords from one passphrase, so that knowledge of one password does not compromise the others?

The limitations are: it should be a function. passphrase is so weak, that if hash of it is known (or big part of hash), then it can be brute forced. I want to get N passwords from one passphrase. ...

### Homomorphic multiplication by a scalar

Few homomorphic encryption schemes like Paillier , Ring-LWE support homomorphic multiplication operation by a scalar apart from additive homomorphic property. Loosely they could be defined as below ...

### Where is the mistake in my RSA by-hand calculation?

Like several previous askers, I seem to have made a mistake in my RSA calculation, but despite going back over it three times, I cannot spot it. I picked 1000003 and 6000011 as my primes, ...

### Why is DSA falling out of favor?

Windows abandoned DSA rather than extend it to support > 1024 bits; but otherwise I cannot find a reason why DSA would be less desirable. I see in SSH the disabling it by default with a completely ...

### Is AES-256 bit encryption secure against this kind of attack? [duplicate]

Recently I came across this article. http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~tromer/acoustic/ Could this put all computers at risk for decryption?
