Encryption, the transformation of data into a form that prevents anyone unauthorized from understanding that data, is a fundamental technology that enables online commerce, secure communication, and ...

A recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...

Encryption algorithms can be intimidating to approach, what’s with all the math involved. However, once you start digging into them, you can break the math apart into smaller steps, and get a feel of ...

In 2015, The NSA’s Information Assurance Directorate issued guidance to postpone moving from RSA cryptography to elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) if they hadn’t already done so. The guidance stated: ...

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 ...

One of the more interesting – and some say controversial -- pieces of news to come out of the recent 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas was a claim by Chinese scientists who say they’ve ...

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read. Every CISO has encryption ...

A digital signature, an asymmetric cryptography is designed using VHDL. The implementation has a Message Digest block and a RSA block. Implemented Digital Signature Algorithm on a Spartan 3 FPGA board ...
