[cryptography] New small circuits for predicates on four bits and AES sbox

2013-07-18 Thread Jack Lloyd
An interesting result, and the link also has circuit representations of the AES Sbox which they claim are smaller than any so far found - one of them 32 AND gates, 83 XOR/NXOR, and depth 28. - Forwarded message from Peralta, Rene rene.pera...@nist.gov - Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2013 08:22:21

[cryptography] A secret sharing consensus protocol (or leader election protocol)

2013-07-18 Thread Tony Arcieri
Has there been any work with combining Shamir-style secret sharing with consensus protocols like Paxos and Raft (or leader election protocols like Omega Meets Paxos)? The idea would be to have a network of n peers, who share a secret where t=2 shares are required to reassemble the original
