Elgamal

2000-07-19 Thread Simon Aronson
In an implementation of the ElGamal cryptosystem, is it acceptable to always use the same prime and generator for every transmission? Or should a new prime/generator pair be chosen for each communication? Also does anyone know of where I can find suitable parameters to test the system with ?

CAs as trapdoor on way functions

2000-05-07 Thread Simon Aronson
Does anyone know if any research has been done into the use of cellular automata as one way functions? or even into the reversing of CAs? [People have tried using Cellular Automata for all sorts of cryptographic purposes, never too successfully. --Perry]
