Does deriving a key from a master key and then encrypting with AES-GCM increase the lifetime of the master key?
Let's assume that we want to increase the lifetime of the master key. Can we do this by adding a key derivation step before the actual encryption? Assuming that we use the master key as input keying ...

Sharing RSA private keys using key exchange algorithms like Diffie–Hellman Algorithm?
This is going in the wrong direction, so I'll answer by showing two alternatives:
Share e.g. a strong machine generated password for this with enough randomness to pass as a secret key. The reason to ...

Is AES GCM with PBKDF2 100k iterations still ok as of 2022?
It depends entirely on how strong the password is. 100,000 rounds of PBKDF2 for a password with a given hash adds the equivalent of $\log_2(100000) \approx 16.6$ bits of entropy compared to a single ...
