Hi folks, So I've been implementing some cryptographic algorithms in Forth which I could use for securing the sensor net. So far I have implemented RSA, hash functions, a digital signature and a Zero-Knowledge Proof. The xorshift RNG nugget is from the excamera website.
http://hub.darcs.net/pointfree/forth-crypt However, these are all just toys unless I have high-precision, or even better arbitrary precision arithmetic. The Forth Scientific Library has bignum words in big.fth, but what would be better is if arbitrary precision arithmetic could just be dropped in as another datatype by extending the interpreter with Matthias Trute's recognizers. Then we could use DO...LOOPs, 1+ etc, etc with arbitrary precision numbers without creating redundant words. But then would + - * / MOD /MOD need to be deferred?
