What choice did they have? F1 is a bitwise function with three inputs and one output. There are $2^8 = 256$ such functions. Only 70 of them are "unbiased" (i.e. have as many 0 and 1 outputs in their image). If you further require that each input, as well as the order of inputs, matters for the output, you are left with only 36. However, those 36 are all ...

I've been looking for the test vectors also. https://github.com/NTRUOpenSourceProject/ntru-crypto/blob/master/reference-code/Java/Encrypt/build.xml refers to ""com.securityinnovation.testvectors.NtruEncryptTestVectorGenerator" " I haven't looked any deeper than this, but it looks like they don't publish test vectors, but give you a means of generating them ...

Edwards curves can be implemented using a unified formula for addition and doubling; i.e., one can implement addition such that $$\mathrm{dbl}(P)=\mathrm{add}(P,P).$$ Performance wise it is however more efficient to consider both functions separately, since the doubling can be implemented more efficiently than the addition. Depending on the representation ...

This question both describes the SRP-Z variant and mentions that the patent should expire in three years. I think the patent in question is this one, but I'm not sure: US 6539479.

According to Handbook of Applied Cryptography (15.3.2, ii), ANSI X9.9 (which SEJPM mentioned in the comments but I have no access to) defined CFB-MAC only as a compatible alternative to CBC-MAC: The X9.9 MAC algorithm may be implemented using either the cipher-block chaining (CBC) or 64-bit cipher feedback (CFB-64) mode, initialized to produce the same ...

As for "how to build the substitution as hardware", it should be easy if you know any of the hardware description language (eg. VHDL or Verilog). Simply write the Sboxes of DES, then the synthesis software will handle the rest. You can also "synthesis" by hand, although that may take a lot of effect. Still, I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for. ...
