Advantages of AES vs XOR on a plain text file
Is the derivedOTP a One Time Password / One Time Pad at all in any aspect?
No. It's a stream cipher if it produces a key stream that is XOR'ed with the plaintext. That the code buffers all of it is ...

What is the advantage of CFB over OFB?
Advantages of CFB over OFB:
Ability to parallel decryption, and hence it has better performance.
Ability to random read access during decryption. There is no need to calculate all previous (expensive)...

Possible to encrypt message without knowing recipient public key?
What about:
Bob publishes a public key for some secure signature system. Alice trusts it, or will get a way to trust it.
Bob draws a random secret 256-bit key $k$.
Bob symmetrically encrypts the ...

How to evaluate the minimum complexity of the key recovery when the success probability p is given?
For common cryptographic algorithms, there is no known lower bound to the complexity of key recovery with a given (and sizable) probability. We can't mathematically exclude the possibility of a much ...
