Let us take example of secp256k1 curve. The current known public key with most leading zero (in x cordinate) is:
...

Formula for calculating an ECDSA signature (r, s) is:
s = k-1(z + qr)
k - private key for a random point R
z - hash of a message
q - original private key
r - x(R)
I am interested in why do we need ...

I've found the following encryption scheme
UserA: $$sk_A, pk_A = sk_A \cdot G$$
UserB: $$sk_B, pk_B = sk_B \cdot G$$
Enc: UserA
$$u \in \mathbb{Z}_q^* \\
Y = u \cdot pk_B \\
S = H(U) \oplus m \\
C = (...

In "On Defining Proofs of Knowledge" by Mihir Bellare and Oded Goldreich, the definition of knowledge soundness (KS) is (See Definition 3.1):
Validity (with error $\kappa$): Let $p(x)>\...

My project is to build a true random number generator that relies on the avalanche effect in a Zerner diode. This for a messaging device that uses one-time-pad encryption. Reading about similar ...

Specifically, I want an algebra group $G$ (or ring $R$) features:
Given elements $g,h\in G$ (or $R$ ), computing $g\cdot h \in G$ (or $R$ ) is easy.
Given an element $g \in G$ (or $R$ ), finding the ...

Using CryptoJS 3.1 I noticed that using 3Des, the encrypted message always start with
U2FsdGVkX1
Why is the first part of the encryption always the same?
What information does this hold and how ...

One runtime platform provides an API that supplies PKCS#5 padding for block cipher modes such as ECB and CBC. These modes have been defined for the triple DES, AES and Blowfish block ciphers. The ...

I'm using Java to generate encrypted strings, and I get this warning at build time:
ECB encryption mode should not be used
So I'm wondering why I shouldn't use ECB and what I can use instead?

I couldn't understand the avalanche effect in DES. Could someone explain how avalanche effect happens in DES

Why do we use modular arithmetic so often in Cryptography?

Claus Peter Schnorr recently posted a 12-page factoring method by SVP algorithms. Is it correct?
It says that the algorithm factors integers $N \approx 2^{400}$ and $N \approx 2^{800}$ by $4.2 \cdot ...

I'm very uneducated when it comes to cryptography. I have tried to find an answer to my question, but what I've read doesn't quite cover what I'm asking.
I have thought up my own encryption algorithm ...

Can you answer these questions?

I'm working on a program that requires multiple key pairs from multiple algorithms to be derived from a single 128-byte master seed. However, I couldn't find an implementation for Falcon512 that ...

Cracking an ideal block cipher is basically a brute force key enumeration. The complexity of the attack is exponential, growing as $2^b$. Cracking ECC is also exponential, but the cost grows as $2^{\...

i'm trying to learn how commercial (for example PaloAlto or Fortigate) middleboxes intercept and decrypt TLS 1.3 traffic. To do that I started observing the TLS traffic between the client, middlebox ...
