I've made an initial release of Bletchley, which is a collection of cryptanalysis tools I've been working on for a while. The focus of the project is to make black-box detection and exploitation of common cryptography problems easier. Bletchley is still in the early stages of development and con

The Weil and Tate pairings give (cryptographically useful) *bilinear* maps. Cryptographically useful *multilinear* maps were unknown until recently: https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/610 https://eprint.iacr.org/2013/183 On Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 11:27 AM, Scott Guthery wrote: > In "Applications o

To: James, just with the scope of large/small cookies. The problem is that if your cookie is a single number and you have multiple frontends able to process the request (and you are load balancing) you need to have those share state in which might not make sense (esp. if you have geo-distributed L
