CRYPTO CODES - Unguessable!

over 7 years

Don't use word codes for guisers / templars / etc. They're too easily guessable. Instead, use CRYPTO CODES, which cannot be cracked without a lot of computing power!

STEP 1:

Find two very large prime numbers. You can manually do it, or use this site: http://www.numberempire.com/primenumbers.php and select 'Find next' and mash a lot of digits

EXAMPLE PRIMES:

23423784347 and 928746263

(Note: They must be very long, or they won't be secure)

STEP 2:

MULTIPLY those two primes, e.g. on google, you will get a result like: 2.1754752e+19

STEP 3:

Post 2.1754752e+19 in chat, don't reveal the primes

STEP 4:

The next day, reveal your primes: 23423784347 and 928746263. Other people can multiply them and verify that it matches your code.

This is the same mechanic used by modern cryptosystems. It is trivial to verify the product of two primes, but extremely difficult to factorize the product of two primes.

this is only a good idea in theory because in practice you'll spend 7 of your 10 precious day minutes explaining it to some noobs

But my quantum computer can figure this out in like 5 seconds!

tbh the problem with these codes is that you can easily mess up checking their integrity. (and shorter codes are vulnerable)

by the time you typed the two numbers and checked the product you'll have already wasted too much time. and then you'll be told to retype it because you suppousedly mistyped lmao

STEP 1.5

If either of the numbers has 5 digits or less, go back to STEP 1 because it's a terrible code.


eh it's not like anyone's going to bother using efficient codes (such as hashes or crypto codes)

...or cracking them

no hashes are just math

or just use a hash


but is that OGI

> Standard computation time exceeded...

if you have short numbers then its easily factorised, the longer your primes are the harder it is to factor

there is also publishing SHA256 hash commitments which is another method as well, but it relies on external tools and may violate rules (whereas you can come up with and multiply prime numbers with your mind)
