A Long Hard Dispassionate Look at Contemporary Cryptography.

To get to the point quickly I am saying that the winds of change in
cryptography started to blow when the RSA team opted for extraordinary
mathematics that I am going to call 'black' mathematics (as in black
market). I am quite sure that had there been a better way of
achieving their objective other than virtually crippling all modern
computers in cryptography, they would have found it during their
intensive, specialised and protracted search through all the branches
of mathematics without finding anything suitable that could be used as
a basis for an unbreakable method of securing communications. Mark
you also, the team was arguably the best in the business, they were
hand picked for the job and were specialised researchers employed and
commissioned by MIT to pursue the dedicated objective of an
unbreakable cipher.

It is fair comment to say that because they did not find one it means
that the one way asymmetric function that they were seeking, simply
does not exist, in scalar mathematics at least.

Their eventual ploy of using giant numbers that cannot be easily
factorised in any way that will enable cryptanalysis within an
acceptable time frame is tacit admission that they believed this at
the time and since nothing has happened to change that belief, it must
continue to be given full scientific ( but not mathematical ) credence
even to day, more than twenty years later.

Further evidence is the fact that the US Government has gone away from
direct number-theoretic cryptography and instead is approving
entanglement schemes like AES and DES as the American modus operandi
in secure national communications.

That is the macro overview of today's cryptography as I see it. I
think that given the authority of the two information references (RSA
and the NSA) that I have used, it is again fair comment to say that
scalar-number-theoretic cryptography is a failure and further research
along those lines is flogging a dead horse.

Despite this, one has only to look at the plethora of a number-
theoretic papers on cryptology being encouraged for presentation at
the IACR conferences to realise that the penny has not dropped with
that organisation and a good question might be - might that never
happen?

A relatively recent arrival on the cryptography scene is the branch of
mathematics being called "Informatics" - this is a good thing in my
view but they should shift the goal posts away from scalar number
ambitions now and start looking at other data instead. The Sci crypt
enthusiasts will continue to play a big role in informatics but under
a rationalised way forward.

The Sci crypt community should move with the times and get behind and
support the changes that are currently happening. At the present
moment, every person in Sci crypt is capable of writing their very own
unbreakable vector cipher simply by selecting a casual vector function
and clapping a change-of-origin vector onto to each output vector of
their function to form cipher-text.

No offence is intended to anyone by these remarks - Adacrypt.

Please immediately patent your technique! - if only to stop others
claiming they did it first. Patented allows you to control just how it
can be used - from only with an explicit pay per use license to a free
for all (like IBM had patents on DES but made it free for any users)- Hide quoted text -

Hi David,

Thanks for the tip. I have made extensive enquiries here in the UK
over about five years and it is very definte that I would never be
granted a patent. I think the same applies in the US albeit the RSA
team were granted one ???. I honestly do not care what happens in the
future. I would prefer the good will of anonymous people than to take
their money - in anc case policing a thing like a marketable crypto
item would destroy my peace of mind. - I have registered my copyright
both in Washington and London - Thanks - adacrypt.
