11:12 asciilifeform which is why i favour using rsa in place of blockcipher-hash-prng, painfully. the actual averagecase hardness of rsa is unknown and will probably remain unknown. but at least when you use ~solely~ rsa, you avoid introducing ANOTHER unknown.

20:06 asciilifeform not so : bbp-like construction makes for inexpensive ~rewind~ when walking the digits, whereas hashes at least try to make it painful
20:06 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-28#1718015 << minimum case. the average case is of relatively little interest here. what interests is hardest case, to design solutions for problems (what is currently 100% of all theoretic work done), and minimum case, to guarantee hardness, which is 0% of work done and 100% of republican interest.
20:06 a111 Logged on 2017-09-28 15:09 asciilifeform: the fundamental boojum preventing anything like a rationally designed blockcipher-hash-prng , is that we do not actually have a theory of average-case problem hardness.
20:06 mircea_popescu average case has no value for this later branch ; has some limited value for the former branch, to see how "eccentric" the upper bound is.
20:06 asciilifeform oh ffs why we gotta have same thread twice. minimal case is ALWAYS O(1) , it consists of... knowing the answer ahead of time
20:06 asciilifeform i.e. having the key
20:06 mircea_popescu not trivial.
20:07 asciilifeform the concept of 'minimal case for someone who doesn't know the key' is not meaningfully distinct from 'average case'
20:07 mircea_popescu we're not discussing that nonsense. we're discussing the actual blind case.
20:07 mircea_popescu it is.
20:07 asciilifeform demonstrate the distinction ?
20:07 mircea_popescu suppose there's a function that does hashing over a domain consisting of 2^100 possible distinct values.
20:08 * asciilifeform supposes
20:08 mircea_popescu consider the work required to reverse it has been calculated for each value, and is in the domain [a, b].
20:08 asciilifeform ok..
20:08 mircea_popescu the point of interest for the "max case" is b. the point of interest to us is a. the "average case" is either a+b/2 or else ni * weight i / sum i.
20:09 mircea_popescu trivially the average, weighted or not, will be inside the domain and not the lower bound of the domain.
20:09 asciilifeform i get this, this isn't the problem. problem is the dismissal of the knowing-the-answer degenerate case
20:10 mircea_popescu what interests me, when you say "alfhash is 5 trillion hours strong" is that ANY VALUE i pass into alfhash will be reversed in NO LESS than 5 trillion hours.
20:10 mircea_popescu i don't care that "on average it's 5 trillion but for the value you chose it's two weeks"
20:10 asciilifeform i get this. and would like one of these. but strongly suspect that it is a provably square circle.
20:10 mircea_popescu until proven i ask for it.
20:10 asciilifeform i've been asking for it since we 1st had the thread, lol
20:11 mircea_popescu lol. now, let's model the other thing.
20:11 mircea_popescu the correct measurement of hash strength includes two parties, defined as : party A, which knows the plaintext and computes the hash ; and party B, which does not know the plaintext and computes it on the basis of nothing but the hash.
20:11 mircea_popescu a modelling in which b knows the plaintext breaks this definition, and it is therefore not interesting.
20:12 asciilifeform incidentally i just realized that von neumann had this thread. and modelled the item in shannon's terms : he asked that the ciphertext contain 0 bits of info re the plaintext. and proved that this is true if and only if you're using... otp
↖
20:12 mircea_popescu in the common understanding of "hash is hard", what is said is "B can not make any grounded promise that his effort will require less than X work for an arbitrary item chosen by A"
20:13 asciilifeform but as i understand we asked for a squarer even circle : that 'CAN make grounded promise that effort will require AT LEAST x'
20:14 mircea_popescu whereas in the correct, crypto-relevant understanding of "hash is hard", what is said is "B can make grounded promise that his effort will require at least X work"
↖
20:14 mircea_popescu "for as long as the plaintext went through alfhash, it is known as a mathematical fact, irrespecvtive of any considerations, that so many steps must be undertaken to undo it"
20:14 mircea_popescu (this being something i suspect mpfhf fambly MAY be amenable to proving, but i've yet to get anywhere)
20:15 asciilifeform the thing is, 'knows answer ahead of time' is not an all-or-nothing. in any non-otp ( i.e. 1:1 mapping of plaintxt to ciphertxt ) there is nonzero bittage of info in ciphertext, of plaintext
20:15 mircea_popescu this is not evidently true.
20:15 asciilifeform von neumann proved it
20:16 mircea_popescu for instance, the dillutionists propose a similar view of solutions.
20:16 mircea_popescu "in any amount of water there's some nonzero information as to the original solutes"
20:16 asciilifeform if atom did not exist, this would be true
20:16 mircea_popescu right ?
20:16 mircea_popescu how do you know, though.
20:17 mircea_popescu but anyway, there's a difference between "it in principle exists" and anything useful.
20:18 asciilifeform that's the subject of inquiry, neh
20:18 mircea_popescu yes.
20:18 asciilifeform until you have a proof, a hash, cipher, etc. is 'strong until it ain't'
20:18 mircea_popescu i suppose to get fancy we're inquiring whether information is quantified. fine.
20:18 asciilifeform fortunately shannon did this already
20:20 asciilifeform as for the subj of thread, it would also seem to asciilifeform that it in fact reduces to the P =?= NP megapuzzler.
20:20 asciilifeform or rather, requires a proof that P!=NP...
20:21 mircea_popescu in any case, the former statement is an exercise in psychotic nonsense. how the fuck can you demand someone NOT be able to whatever.
20:21 mircea_popescu the evidently philosophically correct formulation is the second, being positive not negative.
20:21 asciilifeform ( iirc last time we had the thread, mircea_popescu dug up a few even-moar-painful complexity classes, to place the dragon into. and asciilifeform had to point out that THEIR disjointness from P is equally unproven )
20:22 mircea_popescu actually i recall at some point bring well known super -NP, proven as such, classes.
20:22 mircea_popescu including the algebraic indices problem etc.
20:23 asciilifeform note that, e.g., game of go, is exptime-complete but turns out that good algo exists. complexity class as we have it is a broken concept, which was asciilifeform's argument to start
20:24 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-28#1718045 << it's fiction, actually.

20:25 asciilifeform bananutions
20:25 mircea_popescu depends. trained ass needs 2. noob ass, 3+.
20:25 mircea_popescu one of the most fascinating things about anal perversity is that the colon seems particularily eager to enter dual use regime.
20:26 mircea_popescu all the people going "oh, it's against nature" have NO FUCKING IDEA whatsoever as to nature.
20:26 asciilifeform i suppose holding a knife between yer teeth, or a flute, etc is also 'against nature' lol
20:26 mircea_popescu conceivably.
20:27 mircea_popescu pattern matches, at the least.
20:27 mircea_popescu but speech is certainly a perversion, so this argument is hard to bring.
20:27 asciilifeform and if you lick a 9v cell your tongue dereferences a null ptr and falls off, neh

20:27 asciilifeform 'oh but Who Could Have Foreseen!'
20:27 mircea_popescu you familiar with the platonic alt-theories ?
20:28 mircea_popescu body parts seeping from the ground in a swamp and such ?
20:28 asciilifeform aha, it never really made sense
20:28 mircea_popescu there's a pretty decent pile of lulz.
20:35 asciilifeform re hashes, an old article of possible interest , https://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0012023
20:38 asciilifeform ^ offers a solution to the megapuzzler, but takes 'complexity classes ARE disjoint' as a lemma.
20:38 asciilifeform ( as conjecture, rather )
20:46 asciilifeform afaik that piece remains 'the last word' on the subj, from the maths folx.
20:47 asciilifeform ( the flimflam artists who call themselves 'cryptographers' studiously avoid the subject, and will recoil in horror -- guaranteed, try it yerself -- when confronted. )
20:53 mircea_popescu so what good is it ?
20:53 asciilifeform i highly recommend reading.
20:54 mircea_popescu no i mean the result. "if the classes are separate". well...
20:54 * mircea_popescu is pretty sure read this sometime past years.
20:54 asciilifeform sane discussion of the question, followed by an answer you can go with ( because if it turns out that oneway functions do NOT exist, all crypto other than otp is worthless )
20:55 asciilifeform quite possibly mircea_popescu read it at some point. but did not yet have the correct itch, to appreciate.
20:56 mircea_popescu i am unpersuaded.
20:56 mircea_popescu the whole zfc is still in doubt, for instance.
20:56 mircea_popescu heck, i recently linked to some lulz discussing that. recall cads and his fabled gf ?
20:57 asciilifeform the thing's been in my queue for a while, marked with 'determine what all of the assumptions were'
20:57 mircea_popescu it requires zemelo-frankel conjecture, for one thing.
20:59 mircea_popescu and it requires more than that, if you step out of haskell and try to c, nonsense such as "universal computability", which falls apart the moment you are invited to do relatively "simple" things such as write cubes as sums of coprimes raised to large powers.
20:59 asciilifeform dunno that it is a conjecture when the working set consists strictly of items you can have on a physical comp
21:00 mircea_popescu none of this is dispositive ; what i'm saying here is that im pretty sure i read this, and it didn't come through as much more than tyhe usual math grad wank to me.
21:00 asciilifeform hey if yer gonna take 'presently impossibly difficult' to mean same thing as 'uncomputable', then sha256 is goodenuff
21:00 asciilifeform but thread is re provables.
21:00 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you understand this is actually impossible, yes ?
21:01 mircea_popescu exactly like trisection, amusingly for ~same reasons.
21:01 asciilifeform if it's a problem in the integers, and it has an answer, it is 'possible'
21:02 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no cube can be written as a sum of two co-primes raised to the power of three or above.
21:02 mircea_popescu the 3 case is proven by euler. the > 3 case flows from you know, wiles' work.
21:03 mircea_popescu it's the converse of the modular math / elliptic curves geometry equivalence.
21:03 asciilifeform oh hah i mentally mutilated mircea_popescu's item into discretelogproblem, because of thread subj
21:03 mircea_popescu right, but that's the very important point there, you don't get it without mutialrtion.
21:03 asciilifeform impossibles dun make for useful crypto, tho
21:04 mircea_popescu right, but what i'm saying is that the original article is much in this vein.
21:04 asciilifeform you want possibles-but-demonstrably-painfuls
21:04 asciilifeform i dun have a verdict on $article yet. will say that it is simply, afaik, the beginning and the end publicly available on the subj.
21:04 asciilifeform other than our thread here.
21:06 mircea_popescu anyway. my point is that the idea that "a practical implementation of the axion of choice always exists" is way WAY further out there than simply thje axiom of choice. WAY. because even "trivial" things (find the coprime n powers that sum to cube) are in point of FACT, know, proven, concrete poured and long dry, strictly incomputable.
21:06 mircea_popescu so what help is it, "any f has its g" if g is in point of fact incomputable, at ALL.
21:06 mircea_popescu f "has it" in a sense of having very mathematical altogether.
21:06 asciilifeform author ~does~ have some strange cockroaches in his head: cites shamir's 'proof that factoring can be O(log N)' but omits to mention that it requires a machine that works in arbitrarily-sized integers in constant time...
21:07 mircea_popescu right.
21:07 mircea_popescu so to sum this up in our lingua franca : one kind of fool says "this confuses me and therefore must be hard". the OTHER kind of fool says "this seems immediately beautiful and to my eyes elegant and therefore must be easy".
21:08 mircea_popescu seems to me the main reason $item stood out to your examination is that in a sea of former fools you finally found a latter kind.
21:08 asciilifeform again i dun have a verdict re the verdict of $subj, all i got in my notes is 'd00d appears to have stated the problem correctly'
21:08 * asciilifeform will come back to this item at some point , when it works its way out of his very long digestive tract
21:09 mircea_popescu i'd propose as heuristics from this that the moment anyone proposes either a) a computable corolary of ZFC, no matter its kind or b) a computable corolary of AOC, no matter its kind, we're lost for reason.
21:09 mircea_popescu because neither of these, even if wrung into acceptability in the most theoretical sense, come with any sort of even vague hope of a possibility of a guarantee of computability.
21:09 mircea_popescu ie, a haskell so pure it doesn't even run on machines, it's paper only.
21:11 asciilifeform apparently you dun get usg.tenure for working on proofs concerning items that map directly to iron
21:12 asciilifeform asciilifeform for instance notices that his phone is not ringing with offers of tenure.
21:12 mircea_popescu lol
21:12 mircea_popescu "offers of tenure". wtf are you on about.
21:14 asciilifeform the one non-negotiable demand of usg.academia, is uselessness.
21:16 mircea_popescu in any case tenure is not like bushels of pistachios, to be offered in trade. it's like "true love", very much of the sociopathic ilk seen in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-26#1717417

22:45 mircea_popescu nature provides precious few materials of comparable quality for this particular purpose. cuz it has to be soft and occlusive and so on, contrary engineering requirements.

23:20 mircea_popescu and in other "asian people should just be holocausted" news : piece of shit router, gets set up to work on static ip, spews out the helpful error message of "the value can't be equal". verbatim. and the source of it is a pile of inclusion gnarl so you can't even trivially debug the nonsense THAT way.
23:28 * asciilifeform hasn't deployed anything but hand-sewn router for maybe 4y+
