I like crypto. Need I say more?

comment Design question for a service that signs messages on behalf of a user
Let me see if I have this straight. Every use has a public and private key. But they won't sign messages themselves, instead the server signs the messages.

Designing your own isn't categorically bad. I can think of a number of reasons to design your own. 1) learning, 2) improvements over existing systems, 3) school homework. That said, I wouldn't use something I designed until it has been published and peer-reviewed.

@ThomasLieven, Funny enough, the proofs I was thinking of comes from the paper Practical Multi-Candidate Election System. See that paper for the details.

comment Matlab vs mathematica vs python
What metrics are you looking at for judging "better"? E.g., speed/ease of implementation, performance. What sorts of primitives are you looking at (block ciphers, elliptic curve methods, traditional public key ciphers like RSA/DH)? Are you talking about just the base install of these programming environments or can existing libraries be used?

Your question is very hard to follow. Why do you have kE and k^E? This site does support tex formatting, which is strongly recommended for equations.

comment Is it possible to match encrypted documents using user-defined search terms?
cs.columbia.edu/~mariana/papers/sads_ccsw.pdf might be worth looking at too.

I've a suggestion for you. Your acceptance rate sits at 29%. When you get good answers to questions, you should reward the person who answered by clicking the checkmark next to their answer. This gives them extra reputation points. It also gives you reputation points, so it is a win-win. You can only accept one answer per question. So, if there are good answers on your questions, please go back and accept them.

comment Relative security of a Vigenère cipher
You say "the keys range from 30 to 100 characters and are not dictionary words." How are the keys derived? Randomly? How long are the plaintexts?
