Let's think about the problem qualitatively, without worrying about specific protocol details, KDF's, AES modes, or bit lengths. Let us say each DB record is a JSON string containing a name and a base58-encoded public key, for exa

F(\pi) + F(0) is the integral of f(x) sin(x) from 0 to \pi. f(x) sin(x) is the product of four factors (not necessarily integers): f(x) sin(x) = (1/n!) (x^n) (a-bx)^n sin(x) Examine the signs of these terms on the interval 0 to \pi.
