length of pw "Short passwords are vulnerable because every permutation of the 95 possible characters can be tried. A five-character password has only 95^5 or about 7.7 billion possible combinations." 7.7billion is good enough for me. Only a high tech foe would even attempt to try a brute force attack. which would take too l... 2 Mar 2010 08:59

Very new to GPG, two questions. Hi, complete noob here. I have a dual boot system, Windows/Linux, on which I generated my GPG key pair in Windows. After exporting both the public and private keys and importing them into GPG on Linux, I get the following message when trying to encrypt a message with myself as recipient: "It is NOT certain that ... 21 Feb 2010 20:31
My BLT Recognizing BLT Ciphertext. One of the most difficult to solve but highly portable entries into the category of quick, portable, and better-than-nothing pincil & paper ciphers is my BLT Cipher. The machine verson automatically adheres to a standard which might make BLT suspect as the cipher from its ciphertext ... 10 Mar 2010 08:35

An ECC game Hi, assume we are playing the following ECC-k game: A chooses a random number s from the range 0..2^k as secret key B can choose n k-bit elliptic curves and corresponding public points (ECC_i, P_i, i=1..n). The chossen elliptic curves can be arbitrary but must be cryptographically strong. (e.g. must be primary,... 20 Feb 2010 18:00

Subj: A 3D pattern found in Prime Number sums - using the golden ratio log! - Updated Assume Prime Numbers are Three Dimensional ABST: Prime Number sums reveal a 3D pattern - using the golden ratio log! Introduction It is well known that Prime Number attributes are logarithmic and that they form an upward spiral in some fashion. This 3D pattern was found by assuming Primes are cubic n... 28 Feb 2010 21:10 |
