A worldbuilding technical question!
I am an extremely evil power-mongering country government. There is a company S under my jurisdiction, physically located completely inside the borders. This company provides services worldwide, includin… Continue reading Is it possible to securely use a remote service in a completely hostile network environment

Bootloader of the BitBox02 crypto wallet verifies the main application with the public keys that are attached to the firmware update itself. Next to that, there are signatures of the public keys, signed by the company’s private key.
i want to generate a 12 bytes authentication in AES-GCM. my code only give me an output tag of 16 bytes. i have tried to use the min_tag_length but it rises an error.
can i get your guidance, thank in advance.
import os
from cryptography.h… Continue reading How to get a 12 bytes authentication tag in AES-GCM
I need to protect a private RSA key using a passphrase but using AES-GCM for the actual encryption.
This is normally done using various a combination of openSSL library calls. However, I now need to support using AES-GCM instead of AES-CBC… Continue reading Encrypting/wrapping a private RSA key in PKCS8 using AES-GCM and openSSL 3.20 (library not command line tool)
Say that I have generated an RSA keypair, which I intend to publish only for use with RSA-KEM; I can see that this is provisioned for:
The intended application for the key MAY be indicated in the key usage certificate extension (see RFC 5… Continue reading Does self-signed encryption certificate violate "no multi-use keys" principle?
I recently forgot my phrase to unlock my laptop which i bought a new one several month’s ago i needed some document then suddenly i can’t remember the password, can anyone help!!!
Note: I tried hashcat, and previous tools for luks crypto 1… Continue reading How to crack luks crypto 2, encryption? [closed]
I’ve watched a lot of videos on Shor’s Algorithm and Quantum Computers. Most of these videos say these two things undermine RSA via fast-factoring, but they never really explain how fast-factoring is used to these break things; just very h… Continue reading RSA vs Shor’s Algorithm/Fast Factoring — Server Credentials & MITM
Assume that I have a server storing sensitive user information (think medical records). I want this data to be encrypted on my server at almost all times. Only when a doctor needs to access the data of a particular person, it should be dec… Continue reading Over-Optimizing Security? Storing Encrypted Data on a Server While Private Key Remains With User
It’s time to stop relying on the insecure authentication protocol built into Windows. Microsoft is making it easier to switch to secure modern options. Continue reading Microsoft Improves Windows Security with a Path to Move Off NTLM
