I'm not really a cryptographer, I just play one on the internet.
Seriously, I'm just a programmer and mathematician interested in puzzles and information security. I don't have any kind of formal crypto training, but I've picked up a few things here and there over the years. Topics I'm particularly interested in include protocol design and analysis, classical ciphers and information-theoretically secure crypto techniques such as one time pads and secret sharing schemes.
Please consider any (original) code I post to Stack Overflow (and other Stack Exchange sites) to be released under CC-Zero unless stated otherwise. You may do whatever you want with it and don't have to credit me in any way, although of course that would be nice.

A fair peer-based coin-flipping protocol? clarify |

A fair peer-based coin-flipping protocol? Yes, that's a possible optimization. More generally, if you do this with $n$ peers, only $n-1$ of them need to publish commitments. |

A fair peer-based coin-flipping protocol? It can reject it, yes, but nothing in the protocol as you wrote it says it should do so. Remember that computers (which are what you'd use to implement this protocol in practice) only do what you tell them to, not what you want them to. :) |

cipher text only attack - how to know when to stop when brute-force attack? This sounds a lot like crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/2394/… |

Existing dictionaries of popular words to help solve a random substitution cipher? @CodeInChaos: Nice find. The Wikipedia list is also a good example of the fact that the source material does make a difference in word frequencies. I'm pretty sure that, for example, in almost any other corpus "median" would not be the 122-nd most common English word (and, in particular, it would not outrank "average", which is 142-nd in the Wikipedia list). |
