asciilifeform: on top of this, if you actually carry out a diff stream of instructions for 2047 and 2048, you leak the bitness of the integer under test.
asciilifeform: which is a nogo.
asciilifeform: gcd(x, primorial) gotta use same instructions when x = 0, 1, ... as when it equals 2^ffawidth - 1 .
mircea_popescu: dude, why is every little thing such a fucking uphill struggle with you. suppose you wish to see if x is coprime with the number 2. you run gcd (x, 2). suppose then you wish to also see if x is coprime with the number 3. you run gcd(x, 3). all this is EXACTLY EQUIVALENT to running gcd (x, 6) : if this returns 2, it was not coprime with 2, and if it returns 3, it was not coprime with 3.
mircea_popescu: since your best gcd algo seems to be one that expects x and 6 be same bitness, there's nothing wrong with making a buncha prefab such products-of-primes.
mircea_popescu: then test against them.
asciilifeform: this much is correct, and why i have gcd to begin with. right nao i have a modified stein that goes in constanttime.
asciilifeform: orig q was whether it is possible to improve the constant factor of stein.
mircea_popescu: the whole discussion was re daykin, specifically that for our particular usecase, it's not the end of the world that it wants "napkin numbers" : we enjopy the luxury whereby we can construct them to measure.
asciilifeform: it is used to take gcd(x, primorial(currentwidth)) , and if it dun equal 1 or x , then x is 'cheaply known composite' .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you gotta do multiple calls to gcd to take gcd(x, primorial) you lose the win from using gcd.
asciilifeform: whole point is that it tests for divisibility by million small primes in 1 pull of trigger.
mircea_popescu: possibly. that's not clear, nor was it ever discussed before now. it MAY BE that a dozen calls of gdc-daykin(x, daykin-primorial) are in fact cheaper than 1 call to gdc-stein(x, primorial(currentwidth)).
mircea_popescu: it all depends on the quadratic and parameters etc.
asciilifeform: and yes it is possible to daykin with a hardcoded list of primorials, 1 for each possib bitness. the issue aint even that you gotta keep around e.g. 8192 primorials; ( you do, they can't be sliced ) , but that it leaks the bitness of X .
mircea_popescu: the bitness of x is already leaked : 2048.
asciilifeform: nope
asciilifeform: the factual bitness
mircea_popescu: ...
asciilifeform: which can be e.g. 1, or 17, etc
asciilifeform: ( index of highest 1 bit )
mircea_popescu: what ?
mircea_popescu: all our factors are 2048 bits per spec.
asciilifeform: bitness in the FZ_Measure sense of the word.
asciilifeform: of X !
asciilifeform: not of the primorial ( 'Y' if you will )
mircea_popescu: this wasn't a rsa genprime application ?
asciilifeform: of the unknown integer being tested.
asciilifeform: it is, and x is a random string from rng
mircea_popescu: the "unknown integer" being tested IS ALWAYS 2048 BITS.
asciilifeform: why, cuz you pegged the high bit ?
mircea_popescu: cuz im not going to have non-2048 factors in my 4086 bit rsa key, wtf.
asciilifeform: remember, gcd will be an exposed operator, 'G' . can be used for ~anything~ .
asciilifeform: simply so happens that it is also needed for rsa primegen.
asciilifeform: this is the montgomery thread replayed
asciilifeform: no canhaz montgomery, cuz modexp gotta work for ALL ints.
asciilifeform: same here.
mircea_popescu: i thought this entire discussion was a) specifiucally as to daykin (not to stein) and b) specifically as to primegen for rsa secret key baking, (not "in general math functions).
asciilifeform: tho i finally see what mircea_popescu was getting at earlier re daykin.
asciilifeform: yes , you can do this is if all you want gcd for is primegen.
asciilifeform: so happens that it is needed as a general-purpose knob tho.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, i guess daykin gcd can exist as a class, native or extended, w/e.
mircea_popescu: nobody is going to hate your ffa if it includes montgomery, with the proper warning. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: (whole thing already comes with a "nozero" rule anyways)
asciilifeform: anyway i suspect that i'm overmassaging this particular piece, most of cost of primegen will be in m-r regardless of how i bake gcd.
mircea_popescu: prolly.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nonzero rule is elementarily cuz you cant div0.
asciilifeform: btw iirc apeloyee had a comment re 'why do you want to gcd(x, primorial), why dontcha generate a random x and multiply it by primorial + 1 '
asciilifeform: i can't recall why i barfed tho, nao i gotta dig out the notes...
asciilifeform: oh hm i recall nao. ( it was because operator 'P' wants to be a general-purpose primality test, valid for any input whatsoever that fits in the ffawidth, rather than simply 'generate prime' )
asciilifeform: ( why this is, is because for certain types of pubkeycrypto, you want to test adjacent nums for primality. rsa in particular. )
mircea_popescu: i don't get it how you expect to multiply some value by a (product of primes +1) and not get an even number.
asciilifeform: grr nao i gotta find the orig statement, which wasn't obv. broken
asciilifeform: ( mircea_popescu is elementarily correct here )
asciilifeform: aah it was x * (primorial) + 1 obv.
asciilifeform: not x * (primorial + 1 ) lol
mircea_popescu: and this is... an even number.
asciilifeform: as in euclid's proof-there-aint-a-last-prime.
mircea_popescu: behold,
mircea_popescu: !Qcalc 7 * 11 +1
lobbesbot: mircea_popescu: 78
asciilifeform: 7 or 11 is a primorial ?!
mircea_popescu: !Qcalc 3 * (5*7*11*13*17)+1
lobbesbot: mircea_popescu: 255256
asciilifeform: ok this dunwork, i'ma have to pull out the orig item
mircea_popescu: well this was entertaining, bbl.
asciilifeform: lol

a111: Logged on 2019-01-06 00:08 mircea_popescu: nobody is going to hate your ffa if it includes montgomery, with the proper warning.
asciilifeform: ( and if you montgomery, then you gotta either test whether gcd(N, modulus) == 1 , or ~assume~ , the latter is a mine that user will step on. unlike div0ism , it is not an inexpensive test . )
mircea_popescu: i dunno why you barfed ; but i barfed because it's fucking stupid, you lose a lot of variety in your primes for no gains worth the mention.
mircea_popescu: and i meant include barret ~as an optional~, like a callable function.
mircea_popescu: since you're doing this "general purpose", there's no crime if user can call montgomery.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: barrett is the 1 that actually works for all integers without restricted domain.
mircea_popescu: so ?
asciilifeform: so , my spec was 'all operators do The Right Thing arithmetically, and program stops if you demand div0' , like yer cpu does.
asciilifeform: rather than 'watch out, be sure that you constructed right inputs, or you might get soup'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'lose variety of primes' was my objection to using wholly-constructed primes. rather than in prelude to m-r .
asciilifeform: ( apeloyee originally proposed it as substitute for primality testing per se; where it elementarily constricts the domain of possible primes, and is unacceptable per my lights )
mircea_popescu: right.
mircea_popescu: anyway, nothing wrong with that ffa design choice, if you like it ; if you don't anymore, also not the end of world.
asciilifeform: upstack, i'ma polish off stein, and see if the lily in fact needs gilding ~after~
asciilifeform: rather than to hold up orchestra for its gilding.
asciilifeform: ( as for the other thing -- much of asciilifeform's oddball 'must work for all integers!' thrust, is on acct of his interest in cryptosystems other than classic rsa, e.g. c-s and variations on theme )
asciilifeform: c-s actually has 1 interesting win over good old rsa -- it dun need a hash padtron
asciilifeform: but this is a diff thread, possibly.
asciilifeform: ( and at any rate we gotta have trad rsa working 1st, before any such side dishes can be considered )
mircea_popescu: sure.
asciilifeform: i'm carrying out mircea_popescu's orig spec, where 'i want a peh key with my rsa modulus that i carved on the mountain' or how it went.
mircea_popescu: just note that eucrypt having rsa does in no manner hurt your serpent-only-phonecrypto putative app ; just like it having serpent dun hurt a "this is my pgp implementation" usecase, and so on.
asciilifeform: right. whole affair is 'what's the most general arithmetron that is also a useful rsatron', from my pov.
mircea_popescu: libraries, definitionally, contain functionality some end users won't use.
asciilifeform: correct. ( i'ma include jacobi operator, after thing is flying in the field, even tho none of the currently popular schemes use it, for instance. )
mircea_popescu: right.
asciilifeform: ideally , one'll be able to implement any crypto scheme without having to rip into the ada; simply by writing pcode.
asciilifeform: at ~that~ juncture it'll be possible to ~hardwarize~ the thing, into the ultimate (per horse's mouth) usg nightmare.
asciilifeform: ( i.e usefully general-purpose cryptotron. )
asciilifeform: i.e. that 8192-bit cpu mircea_popescu gedankenexperimented.
mircea_popescu: right.
asciilifeform: it'll be quite a riot, i expect, when the problem for enemy of determining what to do with ~an unknown pubkey~ is suddenly np-hard.
asciilifeform: ( suddenly, 'which of these bigints do we need to try and factor, and which are noise' becomes an open human-powered q ! for'em. )
asciilifeform: it took asciilifeform 2y ( 3, if you count the mpi dead ends ) to build ~that~ deathray. and it's just about ready to fire..
asciilifeform: i can picture, for instance, that some folx will have a pubkey where 'well, first you gotta decrypt via these 2 rsa keys, and depending on the low 4 bits of the plaintext, the rest is via 1 of these 4 c-s' or the like.
asciilifeform: the problem of even beginning to break, becomes , from empty space, exponential.
asciilifeform: ( of course it also becomes possible to blow out yer own brains by misconstructing a pubkey, but this is a problem that existed before me and will exist after )
asciilifeform: and this is before you even consider that the plaintext itself can be pcode...
mircea_popescu: finally some actual movement in teh damned horses.
asciilifeform: imho yes. actually using 'we have a comp' for sumthing tangible.
asciilifeform: ( in this case, to make enemy have to sweat to simply determine ~what cryptosystem~ particular key is for.. )
asciilifeform: let'em 'ai' or whatever. haruspicy. necromancy.
mircea_popescu: "them" keks.
mircea_popescu: what fucking them. the ~pretense~ is entirely based on cheapness. no cheapness, no pretense.
asciilifeform: for all values of 'thems', present, future.
mircea_popescu: same exact reason preteen boys don't discuss their "sexual conquests" within hearshot of adult woman.
asciilifeform: stupidity, as mircea_popescu pointed out in the old essay, 'has infinite health'

asciilifeform: diana_coman: what wouldja even ~do~ with ada task type from cpp ?
asciilifeform: you can't signal it, or do anyffin else useful to it, there
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phf is 9000x moar genius spy than asciilifeform , evidently -- i tried 9000 ways to sweet-talk dks into 'lemme into that warehouse', summed to 0
asciilifeform: for that matter, i never even was able to learn where it was ( to any moar precision than 'hbomb radius' )
diana_coman: asciilifeform, the concrete mess is this: smg_comms is in Ada, has sender and receiver task types so one can create those as needed, perfect; onth eulora client is this ball of CPP mess and it's unclear to me if it can even be made to use smg comms as it is or what
asciilifeform: diana_coman: can , but i suspect you'll need glue
asciilifeform: ( i.e. ada knobs that are ordinary procedures and can be fired from the cpp )
asciilifeform: or, vice-versa, import and fire the necessary cpp knobs from the ada.
diana_coman: in the vein of "fork in cpp and from that thread call Ada proc that then spawns tasks"?
asciilifeform: iirc diana_coman already is quite well-versed in the subj from baking eucrypt
asciilifeform: why wouldja need to fork in cpp if you have ada tasks ? make the cpp coad reentrant and call it from the tasks
diana_coman: mainly because the whole thing is anyway only one thread of the mess as it were; but yes, reentrant should work too
asciilifeform: diana_coman: admittedly i dun know enuff about your proggy to say whether it is possible to make ada piece 'prime mover'
diana_coman: ugh, I was rather hoping I was just thick and not getting it
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if you 'de-thread' the cpp item, you can call its knobs from ada task. is what i meant 'reentrant'.
asciilifeform: then you dun need to try an' pry open the internal structure of ada task to somehow fiddle it from inside cpp.
asciilifeform: it's what i'ma do to trb after i solve the mmap thing.
diana_coman: myeah, all sorts of practical restrictions to consider here; I just wanted to make sure I'm not overlooking some available option before weighing them

asciilifeform: likbez for outside-reich folx : in reich, when folx pay with e.g. 'visa', vendors lose ~5% (they pay for privilege of eating it) and konsoomer wins ~5% ('reward point', exact qty varies by flavour-of-the-day)
BingoBoingo: They try that here. Many of the big chain sucker traps here will offer incredible discounts for using the right card to the point it is anti advertising the pricing of their wares.
asciilifeform: chains yes
asciilifeform: i was speaking of general-purpose 'bank gives you 5% of the spent money back'
asciilifeform: it varies by vendor, and whether yer an idjit (idjits pay interest, cuz they actually use the card as a credit line)
