I am a software engineer by profession and a mathematics undergraduate in the evenings. I speak French, and I am generally interested in operating systems. My corner of the web is here and you might be interested in code I have written.

Apr 21	revised	Does the Biclique attack on AES pose a credible risk to its security? A re-jig of the question to better fit the site, asking what I think the OP meant.
Apr 21	comment	Does the Biclique attack on AES pose a credible risk to its security? Is this the attack you're referring to? If so, a question specifically on that attack would be much more focused, as Gilles says. Underneath your question there is an edit link if you want to revise your question :)
Apr 19	revised	How are the primes used to generate RSA keys? Tags.
Apr 17	revised	Most frequently used digital signature schemes in the recent years Edit to not ask for sources, but ask for numbers.
Apr 16	reviewed	Reject suggested edit on ctr tag wiki
Apr 11	comment	Verilog simulation & synthesis of Diffie-Hellman key exchange Just a friendly note - you don't need to use signatures in posts here - the signature in the bottom left gives you all the signature you need. This is to keep the page relatively clean. For more information have a look at this discussion.
Apr 11	revised	Verilog simulation & synthesis of Diffie-Hellman key exchange deleted 10 characters in body
Apr 10	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on How secure is AES-256?
Apr 10	revised	How does a chosen plaintext attack on RSA work? added 552 characters in body
Apr 10	comment	How does a chosen plaintext attack on RSA work? @PaŭloEbermann Hmmm, you could be right, actually. I think I've got my terminology all confused. Gonna edit, two seconds.

Apr 10	revised	What “Tag Length” should be used for the EAX MAC? Added a few tags :)
Apr 9	answered	How are the primes used to generate RSA keys?
Apr 9	comment	Diffie hellman key exchange on elliptic curve over an extension field Ok, obvious questions - what have you tried and where are you stuck? If you're asking for us to implement the entire thing for you... we might struggle to do that, as you could be asking us to teach you quite a bit. However, if you've got to a certain point and are struggling with something - definitely edit in an explanation. To help you understand the problem with this Q as is, please see this post.

Apr 9	comment	Is AES restricted to only 64 characters for the key/password? I edited this one as well to help you with your English - it should read better now. As always, if there's anything I've mis-interpreted, feel free to fix it :)
Apr 9	revised	Is AES restricted to only 64 characters for the key/password? English fix :)
Apr 9	revised	Does encrypting twice using the same block cipher produce a security weakness? Changed to block cipher; added AES tag as an example cipher.
Apr 9	comment	Does encrypting twice using the same block cipher produce a security weakness? no problem :) I think as you're interested in block ciphers it might be better to focus on those - if you're then curious about public key systems you could always then ask another question. I'll go ahead and change it.
Apr 9	comment	Does encrypting twice using the same block cipher produce a security weakness? Hi rezx, I have edited your question to tidy it up and I think better reflect what you are asking (you're asking with regards to truecrypt I believe?). If I've mis-interpreted, please feel free to click the edit link and improve on my edit. Do you think it would be a good idea to re-title the algorithm to specifically mention block ciphers, or are you interested in the general case too?
