Questions tagged as ['implementation']

Does anyone know of a C++ homomorphic encryption library that supports addition, multiplication and logical right shift over integers? Some set of instructions that allows the implementation of logical shifts would work as well. The range should be at least sufficient to support signed 32-bit integers and the scheme should support arbitrary depth. I tried using Palisade, but found no way of implementing ...

1. Let $L$ be an $[n,k]$ code. A $k\times n$ matrix $G$ whose rows form a basis for $L$ is called a generator matrix for $L$.

2. A linear $[n,k,d]$ code with largest possible minimum distance is called maximum distance $d$ separable or MDS code.

I want to find a generator matrix for MDS code using SageMath or in another way, is there any SageMath code to check a matrix is a generator matrix for the MDS ...

I want to check if my RSA Blind Signatures Implementation is secure to be used in a production-stage application and I also have some questions which I would be so grateful to be answered.
I did a lot of research in the last few days and came out with this:

Signature Issuing Stage

1. Get the public key; exponent $e$, modulus $n$
2. Generate a random number $r$ that is les ...

Fernet symmetric-key encryption

To encrypt and provide data — e.g. JSON strings in a database — using Python I'm wondering what is a good approach (package) for symmetric-key encryption.

The Python standard modules are only about hashes and secure random numbers: https://docs.python.org/3/library/crypto.html, so I started with https://github.com/pyca/cryptography as https://github.com/pycrypto/pycry ...

I wanted to test the implementation of the Salsa20/8 Core function provided in the RFC 7914, with the test vectors provided, and I do not get the expected output from provided input. I guess that I am not using the input properly, but I am afraid I need help... Here is my code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

  unsigned int in[16];
  unsigned int x[16];
  unsigned int out[16];

I know Modular Exponentiation ($r = b^e \bmod m$) is important for RSA, and I can find some algorithm that if e is expressed in binary form (for exp: )--in such way for a n-bit long e, one can expect ~1.5n rounds multiply modular operation.

I am working on making a public key recovery methodology for ECC like secp256k1/r1. There is a very efficient implementation in the secp256k1 lib, but that was co ...

Chaos-based cryptography is facing a lot of criticism, however, some people argue that it can provide many cryptographic primitives, such as stream ciphers, block ciphers, hash functions, public-key ciphers.

Leaving aside all the defects of the application chaos in cryptography, is not chaos at most is a pseudo-random generator which could be used for stream ciphers (if this even possible)?

Note: I  ...

Fully Homomorphic Encryption without Bootstrapping describes considerations for large (exponential in the security parameter) integer plaintext spaces in Section 5.4, "More Fun with Funky Plaintext Spaces". Has anybody implemented these techniques in code?

I'm implementing "Enveloped Merkle-Damgård" and I would like to verify I undestood notation in papers describing it.

Is there any hash function using "Enveloped Merkle-Damgård" so I can look at implementation in code?

I know I'm not supposed to roll my own crypto, but everyone starts somewhere! I'm implementing the PSI-CA protocol defined in Fast and Private Computation of Cardinality of Set Intersection and Union (Figure 1, Page 5), and I have it (more-or-less) working. My biggest issue is that I only have it working for int64_t types, and nothing else. Ultimately I'd like to compare strings or even arbitrary  ...

I'm trying to obtain a random, unpredictable quite long number (± 20-25 digits) using Javascript (created by user's client) as fast and light as possible. Is this solution reliable, robust and secure enough?

When the online page is opened, the 13-digit timestamp is stored. A timer determines the number of milliseconds before user clicks on 'OK' (let's assume he got a short text to read or anythi ...

HElib contains the CKKS and BGV, SEAL contains the BFV and CKKS, is there some concrete performance data about these two lib?

Facebook plan a new cryptocurrency release called Diem. What algorithms are used? What output size is used for the hash function?

Let $x, y, z$ denote three $n$-bit words such that $$z = (x \oplus y) \oplus ((x \land y) \ll 1).$$

The NORX paper contains the generalized description of the algebraic normal forms for each bit of $x$ given $y$ and $z$: $$\begin{array}{l} x_0 = (z_0 \oplus y_0),\\ x_1 = (z_1 \oplus y_1) \oplus (x_0 \land y_0),\\ \vdots\\ x_i = (z_i \oplus y_i) \oplus (x_{i-1} \land y_{i-1}),\\ \vdots\\ x_{n-1} = (z_{ ...
