This thread is dedicated to the discussion of algorithms and applications of cryptography.
Which algorithms do you think that will win the CAESAR competition? I am cheering for Keyak/NORX
Which are your favourite hash/stream/cipher/mac/asymmetric functions? Keccak/Chacha20, Poly1305, SPHINCS for me.
Do you use full-disc encryption?
Do you use OpenPGP?

the cheapest and most versatile one
pads
no
yes
>>61071167
>the cheapest
As in performance? Because all of them are free.

How do you do the key exchange?
How about a MAC? OTP is quite malleable.
>>61071159
>OpenPGP
I plan to soon. Is there a good tutorial?
>>61071299
Using gpg for ssh auth: https://incenp.org/notes/2015/gnupg-for-ssh-authentication.html
Creating a keypair and other things (I have not used these tutorials but many have suggested them): https://futureboy.us/pgp.html and https://alexcabal.com/creating-the-perfect-gpg-keypair/
In general:
Try to use 3kib+ keys with dsa/rsa
If you want to use ECC crypto pass --expert and --full-gen-key and then select curve25519 from the options
Create different subkeys for signing, authentication and encryption

I think I heard you can also use these with passwords to login to place? Like a master password?
Is that possible or I understood them wrong?
Maybe something like, storing your passwords in a file instead of a physical page?

You can encrypt your private keys with passwords if you want, gpg will ask you about it when you are creating a key. You still need to have your private keys with you however, you can't just use passwords as replacements.

How many of you have done these?
