I like crypto. Need I say more?

comment Most effect way to brute force 16 char AES key
You seem to have a few conflicting things in your question. You say it was (a-zA-Z0-9) and .,?!. yet you also say it only contains words from a dictionary. I don't see many dictionary words with 0-9 or the punctuation marks listed. Are there some substitutions expected?

comment Are there any multiparty homomorphic encryption schemes?
A suggestion to you. Your current acceptance rate is 44%. When people see this they are not willing to put a lot of effort into answering your questions as their time is not rewarded with acceptance reputation points. Please consider looking back at your questions and if an answer should be accepted, click the check next to it (only one per question). You also get reputation points when you do.

What are you using to sign the digests, PKI?

Can you provide more details on the application? What do you need a hash function for?

@shashank, I'd be very interested to see the paper as that would seem to contradict another paper

comment Are mouse movement coordinates useful as a seed for a RNG?
@goldroger, I am not aware of a security proof. There are some CSPRNGs which are provably secure. I'd be surprised if this particular class uses one of those as they tend to be too slow. The only evidence we have that it is secure is that no one has published a break. This might not sound good enough, but it is the same as what we have for AES, SHA, and many other cryptographic functions available today.

@goldroger, accepting answers is beneficial to you and to the person who wrote the answer. When you accept an answer, you get reputation points. Similarly, the person who wrote the answer you accept also gets reputation points.

@goldroger, your accept rate is determined by how many questions you asked have an answer accepted (you accept an answer by clicking on the check mark next to the answer). You can only accept one answer per question. Right now your rate is 32%. So of all the questions you've asked, you've only accepted an answer on 32% of them.

comment Cryptographical formalization of computational privacy
I am a little confused rereading the question and Mikero's answer. Do you want to keep the computation private (e.g., the function that is being computed) or just the inputs?
