Kryptographie im Kopf -- Single-Page Crypto Challenge WISE - Einzelansicht

Does a cryptosystem need to be complex in order to be secure? No! We want to create a simple state-of-the-art cryptosystem whose source code can fit easily onto one single page in print, or even on two slides for a presentation -- without refering to a crypto library.

Simplicity does not mean that the computations will be trivial or that users have to make compromises about the security. Simplicity means that independent implementations "from memory'' will be compatible with each other: when
a "sender'' encrypts a message M under a key K and a "receiver'' decrypts the ciphertext under the same key K, then the receiver will get M again, even when both sender and receiver are using their own implementation of the scheme they both memoized.

This essentially means that people can "smuggle'' state-of-the-art crypto into secure computing environments, thereby bypassing any prohibitiion to carry or download any electronic or printed copies of software.

time and place to be announced at the project fair.
