I am beginning my journey into Cryptography, having studied a theory-heavy master's degree module, and I have also read The Code Book by Simon Singh, among many other online resources.

On some lecture slides regarding to RSA-Encryption, the formula for calculation of the private key is given as $d = e^{-1} \equiv e^{\phi(N)-1} \mod \phi(N)$. The second equation is justified by the fact that $gcd(e,\phi(N))=1$.
My questions:
1.How does the second equality come about? I know, that Eulers Theorem shows,... |
I am reading this paper, which in the introduction, tells about two main types of key recovery SCAs :
Reaction_type SCAs, which uses a decryption failure oracle
Message-recovery-type SCAs, which uses a plaintext-checking oracle

In Guillou and Quisquater's 1988 paper "A 'Paradoxical' Indentity-Based Signature Scheme Resulting from Zero-Knowledge", they say that an RSA identity has a shadow and go on to state that this property is being standardized:

I was reading up on the Triple Diffie-Hellman (3-DH) key exchange and noticed that the wikipedia description [1] is different from the the original protocol definition [2] and the modified definition [3] they reference.

I am trying to solve a problem where private key exponent d, ciphertext c, and public key exponent e (65537) are known.
How can I calculate φ(n) or n itself?
An extended version of the problem would be :

I'm looking for a protocol in which a Prover transforms a RSA signature $\sigma$ on a message $m$ that verifies under a public key $vk$ into a NIZK proof of knowledge, $\pi$ of that signature. A verifier should then be able to verify that the prover saw a signature for that message and that the signature would have ver... |
I am asking this since I can't find definite answer.
Is it secure if I use textbook RSA provided all my data is 2048 bits ( or any N <=2048 for 2048 bit key ) and it is random ( using Secure Random in Java for example) ?
Or should I figure out maximal key length under padding scheme and use padding anyway ?

Is it possible to solve this:
If you have the following information about an RSA ecrypted plaintext $m$:
$e = 65537$
$d$, $c$ some very large numbers
$p$ and $q$ are both random 128-bit long prime numbers
$m$ is a string build with 16 random characters of both ascii letters and digits

I am reading a paper Round5.
This public key encryption scheme is based on Ring-LWR but I found it is a little bit different from typical LWR-based PKE scheme.

According to the documentation of HighwayHash, for finding a collision are expected $m \over 2$ guesses, being $m$ the message.

If I hash a 256-bit message and generate an output digest of the same size with a cryptographic hash function then the number of guesses to find a collision is expected to be 2^128.

If yes, can the hash function internal ... |

Let's suppose I hash a 384-bits message with a cryptographic hash function and generate a hash digest of 128-bits. I know that due to the pigeonhole principle, many inputs of same size will result in the same 128-bits hash digest.
How is the estimated number of 384-bits messages that will produce the same 128-bits dige... |
If we look at the WebAuthn specification, then, during the "registration" ceremony, the authenticator generates a new key-pair and a unique user-id. Then the public-key and the unique user-id are sent to the relying party (server), together with some attestation statement. The relying party will store the public-key an... |
I've recently heard about coding based cryptography and it seems very close to the LWE assumption in that it is based on the idea that the error is hard to identify. They are both post-quantum schemes too.
Is there a direct link between the two? (e.g., coding based can be seen as an instance of LWE under certain assump... |
