Enormous speed difference between C and ASM implementations of crypto algorithm http://www.das-labor.org/wiki/AVR-Crypto-Lib/en I was stunned to see that the ASM (assembler) implementation of AES is more than ten times (!) as fast as the C implementation. I'd have thought that compiler technology had narrowed the difference to maybe 10-20%. The compiler is probably GCC-AVR, which isn't as... 13 Mar 2010 15:21
Active sboxes In http://groups.google.com/group/sci.crypt/browse_thread/thread/c6a1fc25594b4680 I asked questions about sboxes and got some answers... now I'd like to ask more (for whatever reason I can't continue the old thread).

Using a kind of running accumulation of ciphertext as chaining valueof encryption Employing CBC MAC means that one encrypts the message in two steps with two independent keys: In one step the message is processed in CBC mode with one key but only the last ciphertext block is retained (the CBC MAC) and appended to the given plaintext. In the second step the other key is used to encrypt the thus... 5 Mar 2010 18:29

Composing large block cipher from smaller ones Given a block cipher E of block length n, could one advantageously use it to compose a larger block cipher in a rather simple manner? I like to solicit some good ideas on this from the group via presenting my own humble one. With keys K0 and K1 one could do the following processing after Feistel on two blocks of... 8 Mar 2010 10:49
No more conservation of telecommunication data in Germany The German Supreme Court has just ruled against the general conservation of telecommunication data required of the service providers (since 2008, for a storage period of 6 months). So at least in the near future there will be comparatively more freedom of privacy in Germany than in some other democratic (including ... 3 Mar 2010 08:26
in ElGamal, could you hardcode the generator for a public key and not lose security? So, the public key can be represented by your generator, some mod p, and your y (where y = the generator^(random exponent) mod p. Obviously, you could not hardcode your y value, as it depends on your random a, but it seems like you could hardcode the generator and the modulus and not really affect the security of... 2 Mar 2010 21:30 |
