| | | | | So far in this series we've seen elliptic curves from many perspectives, including the elementary, algebraic, and programmatic ones. We implemented finite field arithmetic and connected it to our elliptic curve code. So we're in a perfect position to feast on the main course: how do we use elliptic curves to actually do cryptography? History As the reader has heard countless times in this series, an elliptic curve is a geometric object whose points have a surprising and well-defined notion of addition. | |

| | | | | Introduction: Cryptography, the art of secure communication, relies on robust and trustworthy encryption algorithms to safeguard sensitive information. However, concerns about a potential backdoor in the NIST-approved Dual_EC_DRBG random number generator have plagued the encryption community for years. This article examines the history, suspicions, and implications surrounding the controversial algorithm. Background: Dual_EC_DRBG, based on elliptic curve cryptography, was included in NIST's SP 800-90A publication as one of the recommended random number generators for use in cryptography. However, from the beginning, doubts were raised about the algorithm's security and potential weaknesses. Later, it was publicly revealed that the United States National Security Agency (NSA) had likely inserted a kleptographic backdoor into the algorithm, further fueling concerns. | |

| | | After upgrading to Mac M1 I decided to run FreeBSD virtually. As VirtualBox is not supported on this host (and likely will never be) QEMU was the only possible choice. I found great gist post on how to do this with patched QEMU 6. The good news is that now QEMU 7 is released and... | ||
