I'm a cryptographer, a former Pay-TV industry worker bee, and I currently work as a professor of information security in a university of applied sciences somewhere in the french-speaking part of Switzerland.

My main scientific interests are related to cryptography and cryptanalysis, (especially to the design and cryptanalysis of symmetrical cryptographic primitives), industrial cryptography, resistance to grey- and white-box adversaries, software security, OS security and ethical hacking.

comment How to efficiently generate a stream of independent, but biased random bits?
Hi Paul! Many thanks for your answer ! My scenario is somewhat very-high-speed and hardware-contrived :-) More to come ...

comment What do the magic numbers 0x5c and 0x36 in the opad/ipad calc in HMAC do?
Obviously, using a single constant would have fitted the security proof; I don't know why they chose two.

comment How to efficiently generate a stream of independent, but biased random bits?
Using a TRNG or a CPRNG for the initial source of randomness is out of scope for my question. Thank you for your proposal. Still, you decimate the initial source by a factor of two, while we could expect to ... expand the throughput in the best case!

revised Regarding matsui's Paper on Linear Cryptanalysis of DES
Corrected the mask, and explained more deeply how one can derive the linear expression.
