Anyone heard of these guys? An Isreali technology firm that claims to have a new patent-pending process for modexp that's 3-6 times faster depending on playtform.

http://www.cipheractive.com/technology/technology.htm I haven't downloaded and seen whether you need to disassemble the free crippleware to figure out what it's really doing, but my friend John Doe tried unsuccessfully to do so, and perhaps a human will respond to the log messages tomorrow. It wants some kind of public key, probably a raw hex RSA key. Two obvious methods for them to use are - some interesting mathematical breakthrough like Montgomery Multiplication only faster (ok, how to make such a breakthrough isn't obvious, but what to do with it if you had one is.) - no new math, just building a modexp library that uses vector processing features on Intel-like chips like SSE / SSE2 / etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo@metzdowd.com
