There was discussion of this a while ago, I think. I don't recall what
was around.
I suggest "Rivest Public Key", or 'RPKey'.

A colleague asked yesterday "I wonder how much Diffie-Hellman is actually
used?", as we were sitting around talking about authentication (in particular)
and security (in general) protocols.
So I'm curious, are there any studies on what is actually deployed "out there"
and/or available in

"The Public Key Algorithm Formerly Known as RSA"
In the usual academic tradition, it should continue

There's already an RPK, which (if I recall correctly) is based on doing
Diffie-Hellman with shift

How about RISHAD?
It's pronounceable, captures all three inventors in the same order
and equal proportions, and is already a name, with relevant connotations.
The similar "Rashad" is listed as meaning "integrity of conduct", which seems
particularly appropriate.

hi
can someone point me to a tool (preferably unix command line) for
conversion between different X.509 certificate encodings, DER, base64,
thanks

What are you really trying to do? X.509 is ASN.1 encoded by
definition and that is important because it's that encoding that is
signed. I can understand wanting to part a certificate and extract
fields, but why would you generally want to convert it to a different
encoding? For anyone to
Many companies trade mark their company name. I've heard the term 'rsa'

the company, so I assume they didn't do that. I don't see it on
the web site.
However, given the, ah, acrimonious nature of this corner of this
marketplace,
it seems prudent to consider another name.

There is the "x509" tool which is part of SSLeay (or OpenSSL).

No you cannot. If Bob is anonymous then it is impossible for Alice to
