I am looking for profiles to follow. Currently I am interested in following users who have an interest in or work in:

#Cryptography #Cryptology #Ciphers #Codes #Puzzles #TrapDoorMaths #Algorithms #MixNets #Encryption #HandCiphers #FieldCiphers

... and arcane math problems or trying to find a way to use them for securing information or messages. Any recommendations will be appreciated.

I'm looking for interesting new ideas and models from people who like to tinker rather than more rehashed, industry standard cryptography.

I cannot find any documentation for how to install friendica using sqlite driver instead of mysql. I already know how to do the standard installation with mysql but I want to use sqlite instead.

I need help with installing and running via sqlite backend and tips on how to minimize database storage size. Is there any documentation on this? Has anyone done it?

My people are like this:

You played hooky from school so you could hide under your favorite spruce tree and read books under the branches.

Despite all the chastisement, yelling, threats, and punishments, you refused to ever reveal your secret hiding tree. You would not ever let anyone take that refuge from you. They had their libraries. You had your hidey-hole.

When the principal gave you detention you played hooky from detention to read another book under the tree. You got extra weekends of detention for that and for refusing to tell the adults where you were at.

No reading was allowed during detention. You knew that was evil horse pucky!

If this make sense to you boost and follow.

GOLDILOCKER Brain Wallet - Generate OpenSSL Goldilocks Elliptic Curve Keys from Seed Phrase

https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/goldilocker

Goldilocker is a brain wallet application for generating ED448 encryption and signing keys via OpenSSL.

Encryption keys may be stored offline as a complex passphrase or a seed phrase generated from the BIP39 word list.

KSRNG - Key Strike Random Generator (version 0.0.1)

https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/keystrike

KEYSTRIKE generates very, very random seeds that are truly random.

KEYSTRIKE uses /dev/urandom and several TRNG mixing techniques:

keystroke timestamps, doubling and shuffling, modulus and size
truncating.

The final output is a whitened, true random and pseudo-random mix.

MEGARAND Extreme Overkill Random Seed Generator

https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/megarand

MEGARAND employs extreme overkill in the genration of a very large entropy pool. The output is extremely random as a result of several hashing, timestamping, shuffling, encrypting, and truncation techniques. MEGARAND is useful for generating large seed bases for key and passphrase material or for feeding to cryptographically secure PRNG software if high-speed outputs are required.

Cryptologue Arcade - Crypto Darkpaper - Crypto Color Prints - Simplementation Scheme : A Color-Coded Method For Indexing Research and Documentation

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13149715

Crypto Color Prints are a memorable and data-dense documentation paradigm with a color-coded, structural scheme. The scheme forms a simple framework for publishing and improving primitives and protocols with a focus on both cooperation and implementation.

Hexlish Alphabet for English, Constructed Languages and Cryptography: Automatic, Structural Compression with a Phonetic Hexadecimal Alphabet

DOI : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13139469

Hexlish is a legible, sixteen-letter alphabet for writing the English language and for encoding text as legible base 16 or compressed binary. Texts composed using the alphabet are automatically compressed by exactly fifty percent when converted from Hexlish characters into binary characters. Although technically lossy, this syntactic compression enables recovery of the correct English letters via syntactic reconstruction. The implementer can predict the size of the compressed binary file and the size of the text that will result from decompression. Generally it is intuitive to recognize English alphabet analogues to Hexlish words. This makes Hexlish a legible alternative to the standard hexadecimal alphabet.
