Southern cross… OR something more malicious? Don’t use your emails!
Don’t do e-banking!
Don’t contact your Doug, your drug dealer!
Because crypto does not work in the southern hemisphere…
The southern cross stops crypto from working [1,2,3,4].
Implications -- Flushing of toilets
Anti-Lattice
All pairings broken; for example● Tate pairing● Ate pairing● Optimal Ate pairing● R-Ate pairing
Southern pairing-based cryptography
Can all be fixed by the recent M-Ate pairing (Australia’18)
Southern Lattices
Southern Isogenies
Anti-symmetric cryptographyBlocks are symmetric, so not affected
Stream ciphers (eg LFSRs) not secure
Block cipher..
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3
Southern symmetric cryptographyBlock ciphers are invariant (see Asiacrypt18 best paper), so not affected
Block cipher..
Block cipher.. Block cipher.. Block cipher.. Block cipher..
Importantly, blockchains (ie chains of block ciphers) maintain security!
ConclusionSouthern hemisphere crypto needs further research.
Performing 3-7 transposes to all your computations will help.
We deserve the prize.
