I attend a cryptography course at uni. The subject of the last lecture is up for discussion. So far we've seen groups, Pedersen commitments and RSA digital signatures. What's left is ElGamar encryption and zero-knowledge proofs. Some choices for the last lecture are:- Groups from Elliptic Curves (construction method, space and time costs, support for bilinear mappings).- One-time signatures from hash functions (Lamport, WOTS, resistance to quantum computer attacks).- Signatures (EC)DSA and Psychic Signatures (including a brief discussion of implementation issues).- Secret Sharing, multi-member signatures (Shamir Secret Sharing).- Electronic Voting (commonalities with the above).- Lattice-based cryptogaphy.What do you think would more interesting/useful from the above? Do you have any other suggestion?
>>100190795I think that you should explore something in the realm of perfect forward secrecy. I played around with elliptical curves for a little while and Was mystified how a client and a server with totally different public and private pairs could, without distribution of the private pair and only knowledge of the public pair be able to formulate a common key to use for encryption.
I want to fuck Alice so bad bros
>>100190795Definitely either EC or maybe lattice crypto
>>100190795funny words mister tell me when you can break ssl
>lust provoking image>time wasting question
>>100190795isnt shamir secret sharing just the combination of n one-time pads? sounds boring, pick something else
>>100192920kind of, but far more complex.
>>100190795>What do you think would more interesting/useful from the above?i think it's all incredibly interesting. any seems good to me.
>>100192920I forget the exact terminology but it's in the form (n,m) where m is the number of one-time pads distributed and n is the number of one-time pads you need to reconstruct the original data
>>100190795Not encryption, destruction Have a photographic memory person read the data then destroy it There are like 5 of these people globally.
>>100190795elliptic curves
>>100190795Post-quantum cryptography
Will take the responses into account. Thanks everyone.
