There's no such thing as "beautiful code"
Beauty is in the design, the concept, the algorithm.
The closer you approach the design, the concept, the algorithm -- the more beautiful the code, but the code itself is never beautiful.

Question about use of IV in this cipher By the initial encryption do you mean where the IV is encrypted? Or when the plaintext is? |

Question about use of IV in this cipher Okay concerns : 1) It's not CSPRING, I generate two 1184 bit random numbers via python's random.randint() (37*32 bit words packed), then take the middle 1184 bits of the product. I think it's good, but not great. 2) Even though the key is scheduled I am concerned that a) the scheduled key_a is used to encrypt the IV, b) the (unscheduled) key_a is combined with the (unencrypted) IV and rescheduled, then the (encrypted) IV is prepended to the ciphertext. It just seems that could not someone get some correlation from that prepended encrypted IV? Even though all stream outputs are incompressible. |
