I asked for HN mods to delete the slashdot posts I made there too, sorry, I didn't know someone actually cared about __anything__ I posted. But you can email me at slowdoorsemiinc@outlook.com or slowdoorsemiinc@gmail.com to ask for my previous business ideas (public domain) and / or any ideas I might still have in my mind or could remember or come up with.

Submission + - SPAM: Does this work? (Decryption and padding to replace hashing) 2

Submitted by vitalmixofnutrients
vitalmixofnutrients writes: If I have say, an OS image, add 512 bits of padding (all 0s) to the beginning of it, encrypt it, then, when I decrypt it with a verification key which could be public (not signing key which is intended to be private), if all 512 bits are 0, then it boots verified, otherwise, it fails. There's a 1 / 2^512 chance a random signing key that isn't the actual signing key happens to be right. This is because I heard that hash collisions aren't that difficult to create.

Downside: Nevermind, only say, an OS kernel with or without signed modules has to be decrypted every boot with this algorithm.

Maybe I could get a scholarship with this idea? (I dedicate this idea to the Public Domain.)
