comment What's efficient MPC protocol for determining if sum's bigger than y?
@mikeazo: I would personally expect that there are more efficient ways to solve the millionaire problem than to set up and simulate a circuit; however I don't know; that's why I added this as a comment, rather than an answer.

comment length extension attack on an MD5 hash of a text file of about 10K Bytes?
@PaĆ­loEbermann: actually, it'll always contain at least one zero byte unless A is at least 8 Petabytes long. So, yes, if you can't live with zero bytes in your byte strings, this observation isn't likely to be greatly useful to you.

comment What's efficient MPC protocol for determining if sum's bigger than y?
I would like to point out that this problem is equivalent to a joint computation of $x_0 > y - x_1$, hence it is the millionaire problem; the most efficient solution for that problem will be the most efficient solution for this.

comment Can you identify the public key used to encrypt something?
@Xeoncross: Yes, there are public-key encryption systems whose ciphertexts need not reveal the target: El Gamal, IES.

comment Block cipher fixed points
@Truthserum: no, instead it's "just because you managed to find one of several keys that correctly decrypt one block of the message, there is (likely) only one key that will decrypt the entire message". This statement is likely to hold if the message is strictly longer than the key (and the cipher acts approximately like an ideal cipher).
