| | | | | What is an LFSR? An LFSR is a Linear Feedback Shift Register. It's a simple way of generating a sequence of numbers that look random. Used in cryptography and in generating pseudo-random numbers, they are interesting because they are so simple. Shift bits and feed a few of them back into the sequence. That's it. Important note: LFSRs are not cryptographically secure on their own. ESPECIALLY 8-bit LFSRs. More on that in the next post on this topic. | |

| | | | | 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. | |

| | | One of the key tools of a software project development is the repository where it's hosted. During my experience as software developer I have been working with several flavors, such as Visual SourceSafe, CVS, Mercurial, and of course, SVN. But latetly I have found this little jewel called Git. Git was initially developed by Linus Torvalds as a result of anunsuccessfulresearch to replace the propietary SCM BitKeeper, used back in 2005 in the Linux Kernel project (kinda strange that the opensource star project was hosted with a propietary software, huh? | ||
