comment Attack on DSA with signatures made with k, k+1, k+2
All operations are performed in the field $\mathbb Z_q$, which is why $(\mod q)$ is there all the way. For instance, division means multiplying the numerator by the multiplicative modular inverse of the denominator.

comment RSA digital signature vs authenticated cipher
That is AES-CBC-then-HMAC-SHA-256. AES-GCM is technically AES-CTR-then-GHASH.

comment RSA digital signature vs authenticated cipher
AES-GCM does not use a SHA256 hash, as has been told in both answers and some comments. However, you might for some reason need to pass your key material through a KDF to generate the actual AES-GCM key before you instantiate AES-GCM, and that KDF might be based on SHA256. Is that what you mean?

comment RSA digital signature vs authenticated cipher
By AES-GCM-SHA256, do you mean a scheme that uses a SHA256 based KDF, as in RFC 5288 specifying AES-GCM cipher suites for TLS?

comment Voice Call Safety
This question might be better asked in security.SE. From a cryptographic POV the answer is negative, for the reasons you state, but banks are known to take calculated risks for various reasons. That is rather a general security question than a cryptographic question.

@PaĆ­loEbermann: Thanks, the link wasn't available when I wrote my first reply. FWIW the definitions only mention that the same security parameter is also an implicit parameter of the set of attributes and set of predicates. On what page did you find the reference to polynomial time setup?

comment How to use HMAC for large ciphertexts over TLS
@PaĆ­loEbermann: Yes, if datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc4366 is implemented. It specifies mechanisms for negotiating both the maximum fragment length and the mac length.

@rsa: That sounds like a hardware specific or API specific question.

comment Solving hard problems in $\mathbb Z_{p}^{*}$ when $\mathbb p$ is close to $\mathbb 2^{n}$
@fgrieu: I suspect you interpreted $n$ as the magnitude of the modulus. $n$ is the actual modulus, so for a 1024 bit modulus, $\log n = 1024 \log 2$ etc.
