### NIST ECC Curves without pairings

NIST FIPS.186-4 has standardized 5 ECC curves on field $\mathbb{F}_p$ (P-192, P-224, P-256, P-384, P-521) and 10 elliptic curves on binary fields. I need to use ECC curves without pairings for my ...

### Building a CPA-secure sCTR from a PRF

Let $F$ be a PRF with $n = l_{in}(n) = l_{out}(n)$. For any PPT-encoding $[\;\;]:\mathbb{Z}_{2^n} \to \{0,1\}^n$ and any polynomial $l(n)$, $G_l(x) = F_k([1])\|\ldots\|F_k([l(n)])$ is a PRG ...

### Size of group for Elliptic curves vs RSA for equal security

For my research, I would like to compare the efficiency of a scheme when instantiated with Elliptic curves and RSA. So, I would like to know a "latest" comparison (as of 2018) on what group sizes of ...

### Compact encoding of an elliptic curve point

I'm working on a project with elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), I'm using the secp256k1 library (the one that's used in bitcoin). My goal is to create the most compact platform-independent ...

### Why Diaspora Federation pod communication protocol shares AES keys over asymmetric encrypted channels?

As I was looking over the diaspora federation Magic Envelope documentation, I noticed something weird: { "aes_key": "...", "encrypted_magic_envelope": "..." } ...
I'm working on a problem that gives me two private keys $d_1,d_2$ that work with the same $(N,e)$ pair. The problem gives me the two private keys and $N$. Is it possible to find $p$ and $q$? Or how ...
