But mainly I see it as humorous. Military crypto is probably a lot worse than civilian.
Oops. Not civilian crypto as a whole. Proprietary stuff is bad. NIST stuff I'm not sure about. The market has a lot of fraud. And things like our sabotaged crypto infrastructure are definitely not good.
And of course the tweets are propaganda. Not a public service. Reminds me of how the FBI account tweets about MLK.
@EllaRose Thanks. Yeah, the IETF hijacked the name again.
Once I determine the IETF hijacks an algorithm name I use a new name like Poly1305TLS to differentiate it. I hope that avoids the confusion the IETF causes. I don't want to field bug reports because of their practices.
@EllaRose I wish we have to colors for quotes. 1 for quoting the OP one for the quoting outside references. IMHO, adding numbers to OP's question or dots helps to distinguish.
@J.J We had a question about that on the main site, what is the difference between cryptography and cryptology. One way to look at it is: cryptography (as in "secret writing" of some form or another) has been around for thousands of years, e.g. the caesar cipher. "Cryptology" is the science of cryptography, which has not been practiced for quite as long.
This point constituted my answer to that question on the main site, and was contested by some, despite appearing completely reasonable to me and some others (as indicated by votes)
@kelalaka I changed my quotations of the OP to use headers instead
@Maeher Thanks for catching the point about semigroups
@kelalaka I think you'd have to make a request to stackexchange itself for that, and it might have to be something that would apply to all sites everywhere. Also, I'm not sure how that would jive with markdown - I believe the current quote blocks are a feature of simply rendering markdown, so you might even have to create a new markdown spec to achieve that, which would be prohibitive.
You could try asking on meta, but I think it would be a long while if ever before that happens
This Question is migrate/modified from here: Can we add a different colored "Quote" box?
Sometimes answers get long and complicated. Those answers will often have blocks of text that are quotes, and blocks of texts that the main answer, and other blocks of texts that are side notes or interestin...
Though without a generator we would need to redefine the DDH problem to still make sense. So I do not currently know if talking about security of DH in a non-cyclic (semi)group actually makes sense.
Although it sounds a bit more like a synonym for cryptanalysis than common use "cryptography". "Adversary theoretic hash function" "Adversary theoretic primitives" Seems wrong.
I'd like to see a way to add sources to block quotes and code blocks. URL and text. I know you can put it after or before, but the formatting doesn't look good.
Oh wait. Probably it's not a good idea to give up the name "cryptography" or "crypto". We don't want to lend the "blockchain" people legitimacy when they take over the name.
Apparently writing your own protocol, including all components used in it, is going to be easier than writing an extension for bearssl (or something similar)
@kelalaka Um, I didn't know if the Deleplace was already sold on using a KDF. I've added a comment to ask if he is by now. Otherwise I would have already posted it as an answer.
@kelalaka If you feel like it you can post as well, feel free to cannibalize my comment; you indicated KDFs first after all.
