| | | | | This post assumes working knowledge of elementary number theory. Luckily for the non-mathematicians, we cover all required knowledge and notation in our number theory primer. So Three Thousand Years of Number Theory Wasn't Pointless It's often tough to come up with concrete applications of pure mathematics. In fact, before computers came along mathematics was used mostly for navigation, astronomy, and war. In the real world it almost always coincided with the physical sciences. | |

| | | | | Recently, it occurred to me that there wasn't a good, focused resource that covers commitments in the context of asymmetric cryptography. I had covered confused deputy attacks in my very short (don't look at the scroll bar) blog post on database cryptography., and that's definitely relevant. I had also touched on the subject of commitment... | |

| | | | | The Okamoto-Uchiyama cryptosystem is a semantically secure, asymmetric encryption algorithm. It was first introduced in 1998 by Tatsuaki Okamoto and Shigenori Uchiyama. The method is additive-homomorphic, which means that the plaintexts are added by multiplying two ciphertexts. It is therefore not necessary to decrypt the ciphertexts in order to be able to operate on the plaintexts. While searching for implementations of this algorithm on github, I realized that there were only two rough implementations. | |
