Delphi: sharing assessments of cryptographic assumptions
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 developed Delphi, an online questionnaire to document researchers' opinions and beliefs about the strengths of the most important assumptions. All responses received will be made accessible on our website, ideally non-anonymous (but depending on the contributor's preference). We also intend to consolidate these responses and publish the results. We believe this effort will be of great value when deciding which cryptographic primitives to keep or start using.
Note: Minor changes.
