| | Motivation RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is one of the first public-key cryptosystems and is widely used for secure data transmission. In such a cryptosystem, the encryption key is public and is different from the decryption key which is kept secret. If I wanted to comprehend zero knowledge proofs, then understanding the grand-daddy of public-key cryptosystems is a must. Background Maths Exponential Rules 1 $$ \begin{align} \label{eq:exponent_rule} g^{a-b} &= \dfrac{g^a}{g^b} \newline g^{a+b} &= g^a g^b \n...

| Here's a fun list to look through: Dumb Password Rules. Most of the rules seem arbitrary, like only allowing digits, but some hint at deeper problems. For instance, preventing single-quotes. They aren't inserting passwords into a database without a SQL placeholder, right? Nearly every site on that list has a needlessly short maximum password size. If they're storing passwords correctly, there's no need for this. This post will go through a few bad ways to store a password and you can see what I mean....
