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) ...

Understand the crypto concepts behind the modern internet security infrastructure, from digital signatures and transport layer security to blockchains and Bitcoin. Cryptography grows ever more ...

An encryption method for transmitting data that uses key pairs, comprising one private and one public key. Public key cryptography is called "asymmetric encryption" because both keys are not equal. A ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In our day-to-day lives, the use of cryptography is everywhere. For example, we use it to securely send passwords over vast networks for online ...

The trouble with encryption is that everyone needs it, and every threat actor wants to break it. Thankfully, current cryptographic techniques are still at least one step ahead of the cracking curve.

The Cryptographic Inventory Workshop is grounded in Patero's Automated Cryptography Discovery and Inventory (ACDI) methodology-a field-tested approach designed to help organizations rapidly surface ...

With 2024 fast becoming a pivotal year for quantum technologies, attention is turning to how quantum computers will soon be capable of easily cracking our current encryption standards. 'Harvest now, ...

Less than a year ago, NIST released its first set of Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards. The call then went out from quantum cryptography experts for federal agencies to immediately start ...
