There is a lot of confusing information out there regarding the role of digital certificates and the use of Ephimeral Diffie Hellman in how TLS 1.3 operates.
Would it be correct to state that the the digital certificate signed by the CA is only used by the client to verify that it is connected to the correct server ? T... |
i'm new to information theory.
I know the standard perfect secrecy definition:
$$
P(M=m|C=c) = P(M=m) ,

for all $m$ and $c$, respectively the message and the cypher.
Now, i can use the entropic definitions to conclude that if the above equation holds, also the following is true:
$$
H(M|C)=H(M) ,

right?

I have code where someone made the key 64 bytes (32*2) and passes to the derive_key() function. It then uses the key created for aes_encrypt_key256() which would only use 32 bytes.
Is there any good reason why the code is doing that vs just using a 32 byte key that is passed to derive_key() ?
TIA!!
