  2. Merkle's Puzzles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle's_Puzzles

    Suppose that the number of puzzles sent by Bob is m, and it takes both Bob and Alice n steps of computation to solve one puzzle. Then both can deduce a common session key within a time complexity of O(m+n). Eve, in contrast, is required to solve all puzzles, which takes her O(mn) of time.

  3. Multiple encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_encryption

    Picking any two ciphers, if the key used is the same for both, the second cipher could possibly undo the first cipher, partly or entirely. This is true of ciphers where the decryption process is exactly the same as the encryption process (a reciprocal cipher) —the second cipher would completely undo the first.

  4. Base32 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base32

    An earlier form of base 32 notation was used by programmers working on the Electrologica X1 to represent machine addresses. The "digits" were represented as decimal numbers from 0 to 31. For example, 12-16 would represent the machine address 400 (= 12 × 32 + 16).

  5. Unicity distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicity_distance

    In cryptography, unicity distance is the length of an original ciphertext needed to break the cipher by reducing the number of possible spurious keys to zero in a brute force attack. That is, after trying every possible key , there should be just one decipherment that makes sense, i.e. expected amount of ciphertext needed to determine the key ...

  6. RC5 - Wikipedia

    P w – The first magic constant, defined as Odd((e − 2) × 2 w), where Odd is the nearest odd integer to the given input, e is the base of the natural logarithm, and w is defined above. For common values of w, the associated values of P w are given here in hexadecimal: For w = 16: 0xB7E1; For w = 32: 0xB7E15163; For w = 64: 0xB7E151628AED2A6B

  7. Hash-based cryptography - Wikipedia

    In practice, a typical value for this parameter is 16. In the case of stateless hash-based signatures, few-time signature schemes are used. Such schemes allow security to decrease gradually in case a few-time key is used more than once. HORST is an example of a few-time signature scheme.

  8. Rosetta Code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code

    Rosetta Code is a wiki-based programming chrestomathy website with implementations of common algorithms and solutions to various programming problems in many different programming languages. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is named for the Rosetta Stone , which has the same text inscribed on it in three languages, and thus allowed Egyptian hieroglyphs to be ...

  9. Diffie–Hellman key exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie–Hellman_key_exchange

    The eavesdropper has to solve the Diffie–Hellman problem to obtain g ab. This is currently considered difficult for groups whose order is large enough. An efficient algorithm to solve the discrete logarithm problem would make it easy to compute a or b and solve the Diffie–Hellman problem, making this and many other public key cryptosystems ...
