This post is addressed to you, my patient and wonderful audience.
I realize that my interests may not be entirely representative of yours. So what would you like to read about? I don't guarantee that I'll write on any of your suggestions, but I do promise to at least think about the topics you propose.
Feel free to make your suggestions in comments or Twitter. If you don't, be warned: you'll be as much to blame for that future post on Leakage Resilient Cryptography as I will.
Do you know anything about post-quantum cryptography?
ReplyDeleteLooooots:
ReplyDelete- Multivariate polynomials in fields
- ECC
- Older crypto attacks
- How Hash Collisions Happen
- Explanations of FDE Modes and how they evolved
- Practical Timing Attacks
- Slide Attacks
- Checklists - things you look for when reviewing things. Like replay attacks and such.
- Any stories from the trenches - things you found that were implemented incorrectly
There are lots of things I'd like to hear your thoughts about, including:
ReplyDelete* Are the timing attacks that seem to remain against current software AES implementations any good? How good are the defenses?
* So, what's a poor developer to do about the ECC patent situation?
* Predictions for 2012! Make them now while there's still time!
But what I'd most like your thoughts about is: How should we underfunded practitioners tell a system that's had a lot of scrutiny and not been successfully attacked apart from a system that's not been successfully attacked because it hasn't had the right scrutiny?
Happy new year!
Homomorphic encryption. Also, whatever you're most passionate about. I'd rather read a blog by someone who cares about what they're writing than have it be a topic I am specifically interested in. Of course, you did already caveat your feedback request. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year
I think that the topic which I find quite interesting (and lack of knowledge too) is Homomorphic encryption. I don't know much about it other than wikipedia etc.
ReplyDeleteI would be fond if you could give more examples about it and even analyze some cipher which implements this concept
