Title:
Delphi: sharing assessments of cryptographic assumptions

Authors: Jeroen van de Graaf, Arjen K. Lenstra

Abstract:

Almost all practical cryptographic protocols are based on computational or ad-hoc assumptions. Assessing the strengths of these assumptions is therefore a key factor in evaluating the risks of the systems using them. As a service to (and by) cryptographic researchers and practitioners, we propose to create Delphi, a public database where researchers document their opinions and beliefs about the strengths of the most important assumptions. We believe this effort will be of great value when deciding which cryptographic primitives to keep or start using.
