How is the story any different for public key crypto?
- jchw 5y agoI am not a cryptography expert, so please take what I say with a grain of nacl. The parameters you choose for public key crypto systems can weaken the cryptographic properties of the result. For example, nonce reuse can single-handedly destroy your security. Similarly, with RSA, padding is crucial to security. Even if you write the extension ISAs such that they never choose parameters, there’s still probably some room for their to be broken output that seems to work.
