Suppose we have intercepted a public key exchange (via Diffie-Hellman protocol). In addition to the keys **A** and **B**, the generator **g** and the module **p** are known. Assuming that it is possible to exchange keys with client B, once it has finished the conversation with A, how can I obtain the private exponen...
As asked, I suppose this must have been answered before, even if not in the form asked here. The most notable AEAD schemes **GCM-AES** and **ChaCha20-Poly1305** do this. Also, even outside AEAD, ad-hoc constructs such as CBC+HMAC also require separate keys. So: **Q1**: Why use separate keys in authenticated encrypti...

In many books on Cryptography, we refer to probability distributions over the key space $\mathcal{K}$, over the plaintext space $\mathcal{M}$ and over the ciphertext space $\mathcal{C}$. Then, we let $K$ be the random variable denoting the value of the key output by $\mathsf{Gen}$, so for any $k\in \mathcal K$, the...
I don't really understand the significance of a more formal definition of random variables in this context. What would they bring to the table? What is there that we can't do under the current formalism? I am willing to be educated. I'd say for a typical setup [block ciphers] all the domains and codomains are $\{0,1...
If i store sensitive stuff (e.g passwords, salted passwords, Internet protacel adresss, private keys *) *salted(I.E. non salted, salted) is it possible to reassemble at least 10% of the data (assuming data is 4096 bytes if bellow than salted up)(no brute force)?
I'm new within the area of crypto so I apologise if I am bad at explaining this. So correct me if I've misunderstood anything. I'm currently developing a Java Fx application that includes the use of a 'remember password' option. The password needs to be reversible. So, in this case, I need to use encryption (I ...

Using [PBKDF1 or PBKDF2][1] to generate a key from a password is no longer considered best practice, because adversaries with GPUs, FPGAs or (conjecturally) ASICs are able to evaluate the function (and thus test passwords from dictionaries) so much faster than legitimate users.
