A team of cryptography experts is confident they have the answer as to how the NSA and other intelligence agencies break individual encrypted connections. The great mystery since the NSA and other ...

Programmers Whitfield Diffie and Martin E. Hellman, who developed the first form of cryptography for the internet era, have been awarded this year’s Turing Award. Named after famed British ...

Communicating "in the clear", Alice and Bob select two numbers, q and n. Alice then selects the secret number xa. Bob selects the secret number xb. From the two public numbers, q and n, and her secret ...

Seems to me that the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol results in a symmetric shared private key. However, the books I've used for Security+ prep put it with RSA as a public-key algorithm.

Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman's privacy-protecting technology has become both an inextricable part of modern life and a scourge to law enforcement. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to ...

Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman, whose names have been linked since their seminal paper introduced the concepts of public key encryption and digital signatures some 40 years ago, have been named ...

Researchers have uncovered a flaw in the way that some servers handle the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, a bug that’s somewhat similar to the FREAK attack and threatens the security of many Web and mail ...

On Tuesday, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) announced that Whitfield Diffie, a consulting scholar at Stanford’s Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) and former Chief ...

While many people see securing the internet as a means to stopping cybercrime, former vice president for information security and cryptography at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and ...

On Tuesday, the Association for Computing Machinery, the nation’s leading organization for computer science, awarded its annual top prize of $1 million to two men whose name will forever be ...
