Q: Proving that a Russian cryptographic standard is too structured

picarresursixThe aim of this challenge is to find an impossibly short implementation of the following function p, in the langage of your choosing. Here is C code implementing it (see this TIO link that also prints its outputs) and a wikipedia page containing it. unsigned char pi[] = { 252,238,221,17,207...

code-golf math kolmogorov-complexity cryptography
Skimming through the answers, I don't think anyone has used the reverse engineered mathematical representation. If anyone here wants to give it a shot, please do! The goal is to golf the smallest representation of the allegedly backdoored S-box which has been recently reverse engineered into several possible mathematical functions (one of which is very likely to be the original).
@SqueamishOssifrage Assuming you're talking about that ignorant comment, there's not much to do other than respond to correct them. That's what I did.
@SqueamishOssifrage I got that message too. I love how it says my IP was "infiltrated".
On the topic of things that irritate me, check out this answer on Sec.SE...

A: Security vulnerabilities of POST over SSL

JoeI disagree on the safety of sending shared secrets over HTTPS. Here's my reasoning : SSL/TLS was intended to keep someone from being able to compromise the conversation as it happens. As such, there exist webservers installed with weak ciphers. (Not everyone can keep their OS up-to-date; some ...

I don't recall if I posted about this here, but I just checked it again recently and saw it is now as heavily downvoted as his previous answer. :P

List of important publications in cryptography
This is a list of important publications in cryptography, organized by field. Some reasons why a particular publication might be regarded as important: Topic creator – A publication that created a new topic Breakthrough – A publication that changed scientific knowledge significantly Influence – A publication which has significantly influenced the world or has had a massive impact on the teaching of cryptography. == Cryptanalysis == === The index of coincidence and its applications in cryptology === Friedman, William F. (1922). "The index of coincidence and its applications in cryptolog...
Yes, I too was surprised that Wikipedia had an article on that. :P

@bdegnan Other than those, I'd say perhaps Daemon's paper on the wide-trail design strategy, Shor's paper on quantum period finding, Matsui's paper on linear cryptanalysis, Biham and Shamir's paper on differential cryptanalysis, Biryukov and Wagner's paper on the slide attack since it's independent of the number of rounds, and a personal favorite of mine is Rogaway's paper on morals in cryptography (though that's probably not the kind of paper you were thinking about).
