Re: [tor-dev] RFC on obfs3 pluggable transport

Hey Ian,

[There's no such thing as a "bi-quadratic residue" in this setting; all quadratic residues in this group have one square root which is itself a quadratic residue and one which is not.]

I guess you are right. Because (q,2) = 1, all quadratic residues are bi-quadratic residues, hence no meaningful distinction:

[vmon@telly biquad-attack]$ sage mount_attack.sage Key oracle biquadratic residue ratio: 0.500503540039062 Random oracle biquadratic residue ratio: 0.496414184570312

Thanks, Vmon
