I sometimes think about designing ciphers. . If it does not need to be a pencil and paper I would take a rubics cube and write the message on the outside. Chris f. pen-and-pencil algorithm for addition of two n-digit decimal integers 2. a. wap to read 10 records and display the details of employees. Allign the first disk to the first character of the first key, align the second disk to the first character of the message, the third disk to the second character of the message, and so on, aligning disk n+1 to the nth character of the message, and then aligning the last disk to the the first character of the last key. In common parlance, "cipher" is synonymous with "code", as they are both a set of steps that encrypt a message . c. finding the largest element in a list of n number d. Euclid's algorithm e. sieve of Eratosthenes f. pen-and-pencil algorithm for multiplying two n-digit decimal integers a. Glove selection There are 22 gloves in a drawer: 5 pairs of red gloves, 4 pairs of yellow, and 2 pairs of green. The nearest perfect square is 36. so to approximate the square root of 38, you want to take the square root of 36 and then add 2 .5 x .5. Eish now I got to look for back doors in my note pads!? David in Toronto I have wondered whether the numbers stations on HF radio are stream cyphers like this, meant for decoding with pencil and paper rather than with a one-time pad, since distributing one-time pads would be a pain. April 28, 2014 1:02 PM. For each of the following algorithms, indicate (i) a natural size metric for its inputs, (ii) its basic operation, and (iii) whether the basic operation count can be different for inputs of the same size: a. computing the sum of n numbers b. computing n! Guaranteed unbreakable (if done right). Conclusions: Analytic algorithms often do a poor job predicting proton dose in lung tumors, over-predicting the dose to the target by up to 46% . It strikes me that the people making up these pencil and paper methods dont generally know what they are doing so it isnt necessary. *idiosyncrasies being things like Enigma never encrypting a letter to itself, Purple having separate scramblers for vowels and consonants, JN-11 having additive code groups that were always one off multiples of 3 before super encipherment. Matrix pencil. It is illegal to use encryption to assist illegal acts, but that is because the acts are illegal; not the encryption. (iii) For inputs of the same size, the fundamental operation count is the same. What if I use a 248 BYTES long key, you mind? April 28, 2014 9:20 PM. fill k Thank you very much Someone, unfortunately my algo is a simple symmetric algorithm, I will generate a 4 gigabytes long key made of good random numbers which I will put on a DVD, I will encrypt small messages for personal use and Im sure that the mother of the NSA cant break it with brute force or cryptanalysis. A particular case is a linear matrix pencil with where and are complex (or real) matrices. April 29, 2014 1:17 PM. We need the law to take into account that there is no evidence, unless there is a warranty that all involved software, systems and procedures are free of error and could not be tampered with. a. On the outer disk, have the characters in a randomly chosen order with a marker for the base point next to one character. Coyne Tibbets May 1, 2014 6:32 AM, So if it is legal and appropriate for NSA to back door computerized algorithms: Why not a paper algorithm?. Substitute character n+1 of the message, using the first disk, then take the output of that and put it through the second disk, and so on and so forth until you go through all disks. P1 and P2 makes move alternatively. Multiplication Most parents I meet learned the multiplication method shown on the right. Recently I have just began work on a 32 bit block cipher with 128 bit keys for the purpose of tiny devices and I even named it Kestrel-128. There's nothing wrong with working out your algorithms on paper first. At least a hundred years. This loop hole has been known to have been exploited in Europe on a number of occasions with suspected criminals who are not infact criminals but journalists and auditors investigating fraud carried out by EU member governments and their representatives, herman How many times is it performed as a function of the matrix order n? http://historiadiscordia.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/pud-principia_discordia-00071-Page_00084.jpg, Thoth Just add back the subtractor to strip the overburden and get to the code book groups. The whole argument against OTP is the difficulty in production and distribution, but bandwidth is so huge nowadays that distribution is simply not an issue. Almost all unpublished algorithms are insecure. It was very difficult not to laugh. Apple Pencil sets the standard for how drawing, notetaking, and marking up documents should feel intuitive, precise, and magical. The common sense dictates that an increased complexity is not in favor of those trying to break the code. . Pen and Pencil algorithm for multiplying two n-digit decimal integers: (i) For its inputs, n is the natural size metric. The output of the last disk is the ciphertext. //Chris, herman So, lets say we have 5 + 7 = 13. Race track bookmakers use a simple code both for noting bets and for telegraphing them around the track to other bookmakers. I think life is a process of burning oneself out and time is the fire that burns you. Sorry I dont buy the well-known metaphor only genius cryptologist can design good algorithms, so lets all use NSA algorithms because they are designed by genius and they are public and nobody has broken them so far. A pen is a common writing instrument that applies ink to a surface, usually paper, for writing or drawing. April 30, 2014 2:32 PM. This is essentially F(c0, c1) = S(c1 c0 mod 36) where S is your substitution box (outer disk with the base point set to 0). It is of course inadequate for the huge data we produce everyday but for tiny storage and messages that has only a few bytes, it should provide enough entropy. You could even hide the sucker in confetti of a similar color. For each of the algorithm,indicate1.a natural size metric for its input,2.its basic operation,and 3.whether the basic operation count can be different for inputs of the same size: a)computing the sum of n numbers b)computing n! Not just security. Pen verb (transitive) To enclose in a pen. with respect to Solitaire, its known that the core CPRNG is biased (see Crowleys work) which makes it suspect. This kind of thing has been going on throughout history. For this I would reply with the most appropriate quote: It haunts me, the passage of time. April 28, 2014 12:47 PM. Clive Robinson Players take turns choosing a paper and either act out the phrase or draw it on a large piece of . Its kind of cool because it uses a new key for the first round on every block and generates pseudorandomness all on its own by XORing the newly generated key with the last one. how do you protect against preimage attacks? April 28, 2014 7:45 AM, Is this down the same road? I could samizdat my reprints into a blog, using a scanner if theres sufficient interest. May 2, 2014 11:59 AM. , Anura For hand ciphers I think just using an eSTREAM profile 2 cipher is probably the best bet. This missmatch of cipher strength to the level if security required is far from a new problem, it can be seen in two part systems where a principle would use a simple code book cipher to code a message and then a cipher clerk would superencrypt it using a more complex system. Paul: the OTP has no information to recover. Not that you need stick with three rotors or incrementing them in the old odmeter method Enigma used. https://www.schneier.com/blackhat2.pdf (A Hacker Looks at Cryptography 1999). I think now I got it. Prepend (or append) each chunk with (n-k) bits of random data from a cryptographically secure source. Easier to fix the things with legit uses and let those be adopted for illegal ones. Just skimming the paper, one thing that jumps out at me is that a simple frequency analysis of the ciphertext is going to give information about which letters fall on the diagonals of the key matrix. We can agree to disagree here. An algorithm is a sequence of computational steps that transform the input into a valuable or required output. For each of the following algorithms, indicate (i) a natural size metric for its inputs, (ii) its basic operation, and (iii) whether the basic operation count can be different for inputs of the same size: a. computing the sum of n numbers. Clive Robinson For personal use you can have a pretty good random number generator, use obscene long keys, make some kind of stream / OTP like encryption. The algorithm applies all rules in Sudoku and uses a more mathematical method to solve . Trivium can probably be used by hand. April 28, 2014 11:39 AM. b. Unless the encryption is for a very specific embedded device, the rush for memory size or high speed is, to say the least, an error. AES is available in many different encryption packages, and is the first publicly accessible and open cipher approved by the National Security Agency (NSA) for top secret information when used in an NSA approved cryptographic module (see Security of AES, below). It reveals the sender and recipient (and more details, as communication history a.s.f). No, they are mostly weather reports. The algorithm should only use simple primitives. Actually, probably better to have an n-character intialization vector chosen at random and not reused to prepend to the message (36 characters got a roulette wheel?). All the steps involved, though not difficult in and of themselves, collectively are a major pain in the junk. How will they be competent? So the simplicity of the algorithm or making it public. I'd bet a gazillion dollars that it's not secure, although I haven't done the cryptanalysis myself. And this is about where Id usually get, within fifteen minutes of setting out to design a new cipher, then say to hell with it this isnt working and toss the page into the trash. Yes I would be interested, however I would suggest you OCR and modify them slightly to avoid another copyright issue. Just do things in the manner that are actually well understood, and you will get yourself security without sacrificing performance for a perceived benefit. There is a huge difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption. Someone Drawing algorithms, such as those for making bar graphs, circle graphs, coordinate graphs, the graphs of functions and relations, the ruler-and-compass constructions in geometry, the finding of transformation images of figures. Drug lords, book makers and, presumably, terrorists use pen and pencil encryption schemes to communicate information. But as soon as you send messages encrypted with it, it becomes recoverable. Another low-cost, quesitonable benefit, thing you can do is XORing the plaintext and ciphertext to two random fixed-length keys that differ from the encryption key; this might help a cipher with a weak key schedule, but probably wont help in any other situation (unless the cipher doesnt do input/output whitening) use the same key, and you could actually weaken some ciphers like AES by undoing the input whitening. Grovemade Pen. May 1, 2014 8:05 PM, NOT for actual use, just for fun/educational/hobbyist reasons I wrote a block cipher once. April 28, 2014 1:12 PM, @Memo: Our gracious host wrote an essay on that topic once upon a time: Not trusted is an opinion, but unless its obvious, some people may disagree. Ive came up with an interesting short message pencil-and-paper encryption exchange protocol (SMSPP) based on modified Bifid cipher. Programs are open for all to see and copy. Expanding on your points, what are the primitives should be best used ? 1. Anura At that rate the 229 character Williams quotation takes about an hour and a quarter to encrypt and perhaps an additional 20 minutes to generate, encrypt, and insert the session key.. Solution:- Algorithm ( bills, cheeks, num) Sort the checes based on the phone no. herman Thus when a mobile is in that juresdiction a software based tap can be placed into the mobile SIM, however it continues to work even when the mobile is taken from that juresdiction into another where the placing of such a tap would either be illegal or have a much higher level of judicial oversight. Clearly, if the adversary is (in) your ISP you are screwed. b) If they cant be easily cryptanalyzed maybe they cant be easy broken, since doing it is hard, how about this? I never fail to be amazed by all the wisdom hidden in Discordianism! One of the basic skills listed was: Paper-and-pencil computation. For each of the following algorithms, indicate (i) a natural size metric for its inputs, (ii) its basic operation, and (iii) whether the basic operation count can be different for inputs of the same size: a. computing the sum of n numbers b. computing n! If you wanted, you could combine with a one-time pad and in that case you would not gain anything by having a random order. Feel free to use (or not) anything you wish. after tons of brain-washing phrases like this, heres the conclusion: Anything done on pencil and paper using human memory power will not provide enough complexity and entropy. Some even claim that are only using like 50k of memory. Gives the ability to control it for all kinds of light and dark writing tasks. Try to find a implementation on Google, most of the old pages have been deleted or are on untrustable sources. 50 words, plus the information what encryption I used, plus the first 10 words of the message in plaintext and in correct order. Recapitulation of the Analysis Framework The Analysis Framework https://www.grc.com/latinsquares.htm, uh, Mike This is accomplished by using the following formulas: Thus, to multiply two 2 2 matrices, Strassen's algorithm makes seven multipli-cations and 18 additions/subtractions, whereas the brute-force algorithm requires eight multiplications and four additions. The pen used for input has a fine, smooth tip that supports precise pointing, writing, or drawing in ink. So for a 36 character alphabet and 11 fixed cipher disks, each ciphertext output is dependent on a combination of between 1 and 10 plaintext characters and between 0 and 9 ciphertext characters, and two key characters that change for each ciphertext, for a total of about 1 quintillion possible substitutions (n*36^(n+2)). He calls it a stream cipher, but thats not correct, is it? What prevents them be subverted? Algorithms and flowcharts are two different tools that are helpful for creating new programs, especially in computer programming. My idea in this area is to use the reverse of Blades sword (the vampire). I was about to recommend the Riverbank Publications by William Friedman as a starting point for anyone interested in paper-and-pencil ciphers, but I see that they have gone out of print again. An algorithm is a finite set of instructions that, if followed, accomplishes a particular task. And on iPad Pro, Apple Pencil hover shows you exactly where your Apple Pencil will touch down on your display, so you can write, sketch, and illustrate with even greater precision. Open scrutiny may not be perfect but its got a far better chance of delivering a better result. Elgar Designing cryptographic algorithms is very difficult. However on playing with it we discovered that if you print a QR code with it some smartphones see it and respond to it which with a chat over a pub lunch gave rise to some quite evil posabilities.
