Bitcoin Research Would you mind rewording your question some? I'm having a hard time figuring out what you are asking. As worded you are asking if anyone knows of any research that is or has been done. The answer to that is clearly yes, someone does know of research that is/has been done. Are you wanting a list of research areas within the bitcoin realm that relate to cryptography? Is there something specific that a simple search of "bitcoin" on google scholar is not turning up that you are interested in? |

answered | Is Porticor's “homomorphic” key encryption something that can really be done or is it just marketing hype? |

Why does ROT13 provide no cryptographic security? Get the plaintext from the statistical analysis, then look at the substitution table used to get the plaintext. It will be very obvious. If you mean by only looking at the ciphertext, that would be hard to tell that it was the ROT13. You could, however, tell it was a simple substitution cipher by only looking at the ciphertext, but without further analysis, you couldn't recreate the substitution table. |

How is block cipher padding verified for consistancy? @Rook, based on what I have seen, yes. The padding oracle attack works any time one relies on some format of the decrypted message being present. If that format is not present, and that piece of information is leaked, a padding oracle is very likely. This is typically through padding, but is not limited to that. |

How does a padding oracle attack work? I'm assuming you have read the relevant papers? If not, you should read them first and then post specific questions. |

Why pairing based crypto is suitable for some particular cryptographic primitives? What published literature have you looked at? Something like this should give you a good introduction. |

Self-expiring symmetric keys, or: cryptography in absence of secure deletion Is the random stream only available for a certain time period? Also, you would need a trusted time source, no? |

Why can't Homomorphic encryption schemes support algorithms with conditions/branching? @Also, for an example of what D.W. is saying see the hcrypt project. |

Recommended Books for Cryptography : Theory and Implementation Welcome to our site. We hope you find it useful. The reason you have not found similar questions to what you are looking for is that requests for books are considered off topic on this particular site. A good place to discuss this would be in Chat though. |

Using chi square for distinguishing between compressed and random data I am not an expert in this, but the NIST tests might do a better job. |
