Cryptography Verify an Anonymous Identity

Is their a way to create a secret key that only you have which will generate new codes each time you post a message to multiple social media accounts. The public will have the decrypt key to verify it was actually you, but no one would be able to use it to generate another code except you with the original private key.

Essentially, can you create an anonymous identity using SSL or similar that generates a unique code with each post.

It's called asymmetric cryptography. It's how PGP works and it's commonplace. The "unique code" is just cryptographicly signing the message.

>>951989 (OP)

That's just signing you mong. Please leave and don't come back until you've completed every exercise in SICP.

Signing seems to be just between two people. I want the public to have the key.

>>952025

I don't want a message within the encryption, just verification of the identity. Message needs to be public.

bullshit

>I want the public to have the key.

That's why it's called a public key, duh

>I don't want a message within the encryption, just verification of the identity. Message needs to be public.

The message is hashed before computing the signature (which is appended to the message, not replacing it), so that the public can verify the message hasn't been tampered with. You could of course just sign a random number to prove it's you, but then you lose protection against fags stealing the sig and attaching it to a different message of their choice.

So the public just gets one public key, I don't have to produce a new public key each time I send a message?


 No.952071

Correct. That's why it is "public", it is for everyone else in the world.
