When it comes to public key cryptography, most systems today are still stuck in the 1970s. On December 14, 1977, two events occurred that would change the world: Paramount Pictures released Saturday ...

Post-quantum cryptography is rapidly evolving to counter threats posed by quantum computing, and elliptic curves combined with isogeny methodologies offer a promising avenue. This approach leverages ...

A type of Diffie-Helman cryptography algorithm that uses elliptic curve cryptography. See Diffie-Hellman and elliptic curve cryptography. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other ...

This chapter excerpted from Hardware Implementation of Finite-Field Arithmetic, gives an example of finite-field application—namely, the implementation of the scalar product (point multiplication) ...

The mathematicians who toiled on the famous enigma also devised powerful forms of end-to-end encryption. By William J. Broad Defenses against digital snoopers keep getting stronger. Encryption is what ...

According to one of the world’s leading cryptographers, Bitcoin’s elliptic curve could have a secret backdoor, invalidating all underlying security. A Bitcoin public key is created by applying ...

Author Nick Sullivan worked for six years at Apple on many of its most important cryptography efforts before recently joining CloudFlare, where he is a systems engineer. He has a degree in mathematics ...
