Thiesfield and the afternoon the RSA-ECC died

Backdoors, electrical cords, and the winter in Fort Meade

"in August 2015, the NSA announced that it plans to replace Suite B with a new cipher suite due to concerns about quantum computing attacks on ECC"

"undermining mathematical formulas, in particular elliptic functions used in widely deployed encryption systems, is a key activity for us; we were manually crafting elliptic curves that look random, and encouraging the industry to make use of them in their belief they were random. That way we could decrypt whatever message we were interested in; however, after the Yulara event, we were given a gift by DENIED asking us to test it in the analysis and decryption of RSA-encrypted messages; to all effects, the gift acted as a neural network, assigning a pixel values to chunks of RSA-encrypted message and, after a while, an image appeared in the screen. Looked random to us, but then the 'gift' started its pattern recognition analysis on that image to finally decrypt the message. We got speechless."



"Carnivorous is the project under which massive encrypted data is collected. We call data 'flesh'. So, one group generates massive amounts of encrypted data, feeds Carnivorous, and then we train the neural network, which is further used by a second group to fine tune the decryption process. The algorithm is based on Ivanenko polynomial maps for pattern recognition and works on the visual representation of the elliptic function-based RSA-encrypted flesh."

"Obviously we cannot compromise the global trust environment; GTE is one of the cornerstones of the actual financial system and the internet itself; you can't go out telling people RSA is not working anymore, or even worse: that it does not work since 2015. At the end of the day people must go to bed thinking all of the transactions they've made during the day are safe, otherwise the world would be in chaos. Electronic commerce is the only commerce we have, so why destroying it?"

"Yes, safe encryption is a myth, the very moment you need to write down in plain text what you wish to encrypt you are lost. A system that encrypts plain data is a bad system, anyway. Always was. Suffices to steal the data before any encryption is performed, and that's what we do most of the time. Quantum encryption won't solve that problem either, you know. What we really need is a brain that generates encrypted data from scratch, because nodody has figured out how to read a brain. Yet."

"We found the guy in January 2015; we couldn't determine the cause of death because the body’s breakdown process took too much of a toll to offer any forensic evidence. We found no signs of a break-in. Officially, the guy worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs as a computer programmer, though in reality he was our man for the Carnivorous project there. See, a deep knowledge of maths comes with a price: schizophrenia and dementia. Think of Nash, think of Gödel. It is as if someone or something is dictating you the maths."



"We found a much faster integer factorization algorithm, we were happy about it. We used this new algorithm to decrypt a significant proportion of Internet traffic, but that was not enough. We then received the 'gift'. How they got it and from whom is something we ignore. The fact is we can break both RSA and ECC since 2013. Then the same group came one morning to the office, showed as a strange disk-shaped object that they connected with a special gear to one of the monitors and the screen got filled with strange symbols. They asked us if we could make any sense out of it. It was short after that we learned DENIED was found dead with a black electrical cord knotted around his neck. Without his help the decoding of those symbols was simply impossible. Damn! You cannot replicate someone's brilliant brain!"

"The private key? The private key in this cryptosystem is a specific genetic polymorphism sequence that only the person who receives the message bears in his DNA, that is, he and only he can decode the message. Actually, it is more complicated. The private key is the sequence that remains after the genetic sample from the receiver has been exposed to UV radiation of a wavelength unknown to you for a period of time unknown to you, thus even if you obtain a sample of DNA from that person you still need to figure out a lot of parameters."
