Black-Scholes formula

Thu, 28 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Black-Scholes formula… maybe not as important and well-known as compounding interest-rate but still the most famous formula among options traders. Here are the formulas that you will find in financial books.

Generate IOTA address

Mon, 28 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Generate IOTA address using plain old Python, starting with random seed, derive private key, and finally the checksum and address.

Generate Ethereum Address

Tue, 27 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Generate Ethereum address from private key using plain old Python3, Elliptic Curve multiplication from SageMath and of course Keccak hash function.

Generate Monero address

Sat, 18 Jul 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Generate Monero address from the root private key using plain old Python, Edwards curve's ed25519 implementation, Keccak-256 hashing and Monero's Base58 encoding.

Elliptic curves

The easiest way to understand Elliptic Curve (EC), point addition, scalar multiplication and trapdoor function; explained with simple graphs and animations.

Zero-knowledge proofs

Zero-knowledge is a method to prove that you know a secret ``x`` (e.g. a password, private key, piece of knowledge, etc) without revealing that secret.

EC-Schnorr

Tue, 25 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

EC-Schnorr, as the name suggests, is a Schnorr-type digital signature scheme over elliptic curve, it's ECDSA's little sister and Schnorr's big brother implemented in the upcoming MuSig in Bitcoin.

ECDSA

Tue, 09 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) are more complex than RSA or ElGamal but I will try my best to hide the hairy math and the implementation details.

ElGamal

Tue, 26 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000

ElGamal is a public key cryptosystem that is used in encryption , digital signature and homomorphic cryptography.

Here is my take in 12 lines of Python code:
