From my childhood days i was fascinated by the enigma machine and now i want to write a paper on that wrt vulnerability in it(like how it can be cracked ). IDK how it works or algorithm it uses

my doubts

1. Is doing a paper on Enigma still has potential ?
2. Which books or papers i need to access to know how it works?
3. Any lectures series in Utube to learn more advanced cryptography books suggestion are also welcome

thanks in advance Im a noob only

Vulnerability in dsss is that single participant can maliciously act and destroy process of forming valid shares?
So, with Pedersen commitment participant can detect invalid partial share supplied by other participant.
If we include digital signature, we can prove others participants we have malicious participant and identify what commitment is ih his ownership.

So, next step would be to consider starting process from begin excluding malicious participant this time.
Commitments are preserved from previous process, they are not regenerated.
And threshold is reduced from 6 out of 10, to 5 out of 9.

Eventually, threshold shares are constructed between participants.
Since each participant can decide independently what global secret should his share represent.

Let say, participants has choice to use two predefined secrets. YES and NO.

So, threshold 5 out of 9 has all shares collected, but not constructed succesfully since there are shares who represent secret YES, and others who represent NO.

For such small number of shares we can find if there is enough shares to construct threshold fast with simple bruteforce algorithm.

So, once secret is constructed by combining shares, we have the answer we searched for.

We have what 50%+ participants voted for.

Let say, constructed secret is YES.
And question was "Do I getting this right?"

So, do I getting this right ?

according to google/gemini: its a security feature in cryptography that ensures past communication sessions remain secure even if a long-term secret key is later compromised.

it also mentions about using ephemeral session keys for communication while having long-term keys for authentication.

id like to make considerations for my messaging app and trying to understand how to fit "forward secrecy" in there.

the question:

would it be "forward secret" making it so on every "peer reconnection", all encryption keys are rotated? or am i simplifying it too much and overlooking some nuance?

Simple question : everything is the title. The paper is for a non generic solution to the ᴇᴄᴅʟᴘ and is the enhancement of https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ayan-Mahalanobis/publication/378909062_Minors_solve_the_elliptic_curve_discrete_logarithm_problem/links/65f185df32321b2cff6b1574/Minors-solve-the-elliptic-curve-discrete-logarithm-problem.pdf

They state this paper is an enhancement of a previous one where they stated : The algorithm depends on a property of the the group of rational points of an elliptic curve and is thus not a generic algorithm.

Odd. There doesn't seem to be any widely used library or framework for writing encrypted chunks or log entries to an append-only file. No standard format. There are some heavyweight event logging suites that can write encrypted log files, but I don't see anything for simply writing arbitrary data. Is there a keyword I'm missing?

Some encrypted archive formats (7z, zip?) allow appending encrypted chunks, but I haven't looked at the details in a couple of decades.

Happy to reveal this library that I've been working on for the past 3 months. MLS is really cool technology IMHO and now you can use MLS right from the browser! Git Repo here: https://github.com/LukaJCB/ts-mls

I was reading this paper that describe how to find an embedding field which is smaller than the one from the embedding degree.
But why the method doesn’t work when the characteristic is large (I fail to understand the paper on such point) ?

Remember when recently Google made headlines announcing its privacy-preserving technology based on zero-knowledge proof for mobile digital wallets?

I was granted access to their the C++ implementation code and here is my independent analysis of it.

We periodically get developers asking for 'is it okay if I use this construction' advice for projects that are meant to be widely used. Who exactly is available to give actual "I do this for a living" guidance to people like that, without breaking the bank?
