We know that the standard encoding of points of an elliptic curve is not uniformly random since they must satisfy the curve equation. In another look, we don't have $p^2$ points. In ECDSA, the $r$ is calculated as $r = x_1 \bmod n$ where $x_1 = x([k]G)$. Therefore the $r$ is not uniform random. Since we have $n \app...
I am stuck at a homework problem to find the square root of a quadratic residue $b$ in $Z_n$ ($n$ is not a prime). Currently, I have figured out that there exists a number $a \in Z_n$ such that $a^2 \equiv 1$. If I understand the theory correctly, that means the order of $QR_n$ is a multiple of $2$. Since $QR_n$ is a s...
the following [rfc][1] describes the key-pair generation mechanism for Ed25519; the first two steps are as follows: > 1. Hash the 32-byte private key using SHA-512, storing the digest in a 64-octet large buffer, denoted h. Only the lower 32 bytes are used for generating the public key. > 2. ...

I'm not understanding several things here. First, what does 'smooth' mean in this context ? It seems like this is repeated from BBS without defining it.
