When quantum computers become commonplace, current cryptographic systems will become obsolete. Scientists are racing to get ...

Encryption forms the backbone of digital security but now faces a fundamental challenge: the emergence of quantum computers.

Editor's note: See the original article on PurpleAlientPlanet. Some of my research is focused on the implementation issues of elliptic curve cryptography on embedded systems. Since I often have to ...

Encryption is a key technology for federal agencies. Although encryption is the primary goal, many encryption systems depend on a combination of tools to accomplish other tasks. Public-key ...

The elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) lies at the heart of modern public-key cryptography. It concerns the challenge of determining an unknown scalar multiplier given two points on an ...

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 National Institute for Standards and Technology has removed a controversial encryption algorithm from a key security document after years of reports that it contained a backdoor for the National ...
