Prisoners Multiply by Generator Point
The riddle: "You and your fellow prisoners can strategize, but a hostile warden will overhear your strategy" Me: "okay folks, first we all pick a random number, and multiply it with this generator point"
A person proposes a cryptographic strategy to fellow prisoners, using random numbers and a generator point to communicate secretly. The joke is that the speaker responds to a classic prisoner-and-hostile-warden riddle with an unexpectedly technical elliptic-curve cryptography solution, making it funny as a reaction to an impossible surveillance situation.
