Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of creating a signature scheme using the Pythagorean theorem. Participants explore the relationship between encryption, digital signatures, and the mathematical principles underlying the Pythagorean theorem, with varying degrees of clarity and understanding.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks assistance in developing a signature scheme based on the Pythagorean theorem.
  • Another participant questions the meaning of a "signature scheme" and suggests it may relate to the metric of the Pythagorean theorem.
  • It is noted that the "signature" of the Pythagorean theorem is "+, +" and relates to the distance formula in the Euclidean plane.
  • Participants express confusion regarding how encryption relates to the concept of a signature and the Pythagorean theorem.
  • A digital signature is described as a code attached to a message, generated through a hash function and asymmetric encryption, but its connection to the Pythagorean theorem is challenged.
  • One participant suggests using a specific Pythagorean triangle (7-24-25) in the context of the signature scheme.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on how the Pythagorean theorem relates to signature schemes and encryption. There are multiple competing views and a lack of clarity on the topic.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved questions regarding the definitions of terms like "signature scheme" and "encryption," as well as the specific mathematical steps needed to integrate the Pythagorean theorem into the proposed scheme.

please help me :(
i want to make signature scheme by pythagoras theorem
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What is a signature scheme? Do you mean you want to determine the signature of the metric by inspection of the Pythagorean theorem?
 
The "signature" of the Pythagorean theorem is "+, +", of course.
[itex]c^2= a^2+ b^2[/itex] so that a distance formula based on that (i.e. the Euclidean plane) would be [itex]ds^2= dx^2+ dy^2[/itex].
 
oook hallsofivy
Where will I put the message
& what the equation to get x & y
 
the Signature is a part of the encryption DaleSpam
 
Okay, now I am lost completely. What does "encription" have to do with a "signature", "Pythagoras", or even "relativity"?
 
encryption data
have to do with a "signature", "Pythagoras"
I want to send encrypted message using a signature by Pythagoras
I hope that understand me

No. That is still not clear. Please elaborate.
 
A digital signature is a code that you can attach to a message to prove that you're the one who sent it. It's generated using a hash function (a function that takes arbitrary data as input, and generates data of fixed length as output; e.g. 128 bits or 256 bits), and an asymmetric encryption algorithm (i.e. one that uses different keys for encryption and decryption).

The message I want to sign is first passed through the hash function. Then I encrypt the output using my private key. The result of that is called a signature. If I send someone the signature along with the message, he can apply the hash function to the message, and he can decrypt the signature using my public key. If the results of these two operations are the same, he knows that the message came from me. (The fact that he could decrypt the signature using my public key proves that it was encrypted using my private key).

This obviously doesn't have anything with relativity. I don't see how it can have anything to do with right triangles either.

Choose any interesting Pythagorean triangle. 7-24-25 for instance.

Interesting, alaoation. But of course if you post in Special Relativity about signatures you are bound to get something back about metrics. Good thing we've got guys like Fredrik around.
