| Did the unsuccessful post quantum crypto candidates get any feedback as to why they were dropped? Posted: 03 Feb 2019 10:54 AM PST In releasing the successful candidates to NIST's post quantum crypto competition, NIST said "To better explain our decision process and rationale for our selection, we have released a short report, NIST Internal Report (NISTIR) 8240." However NISTIR 8420 only commented on the successful candidates, not saying a single word about the candidates that were dropped. Contrast this with the report NIST released when they selected the AES finalists, where they commented on every single submission and provided justification for their choices. The AES selection process was a quintessential model for its transparency. When a researcher submits a paper to a conference, all submissions get feedback from expert referees who evaluated the submissions. Is NIST providing similar feedback to algorithms that were rejected? I don't know the answer, that's why I'm asking. But in the back of my mind, I am wondering if NIST had left behind 50+ candidates with zero explanation on why they were rejected. [link] [comments]  |
| Is it possible to use TrueCrypt in 2019? If so - how? Posted: 04 Feb 2019 01:50 AM PST I want to encrypt my usb stick. I have tried veracrypt for 6 months and it let me down. The file container could not be decrypted and the support team is helpless to fix the error (which is rather common if you read their forums). As far as I know, there is no other hq free encryption software rather than TrueCrypt (which has been proven to work). As such, I am interested in trying TrueCrypt to encrypt my files, if anyone can help me then please post a reply. If you think that any of my statements are wrong then refute me. [link] [comments]  |
| Where can I find a beginner level introduction to most of what has been discovered in cryptography? Posted: 03 Feb 2019 12:33 PM PST Hello, I am interested in a book which devotes at max 2-3 pages to all the things in cryptography. Sort of like an atlas of cryptography. Example of things I'd like to read a few pages on: Encryption, Public-key encryption, Asymmetric encryption, Zero Knowledge Proofs, Homomorphic encryption etc. I know Wikipedia can sort of help, but I don't know which topics to cover first. And don't point me to Encyclopedia of Cryptography and Security as it is filled with non-introductory topics. [link] [comments]  |
