In the context of cryptography, a public key is an alphanumeric string that serves as an essential component of asymmetric encryption algorithms. It is typically derived from a private key, which must ...

In the realm of secure communications, data exchange and secret key agreement algorithms are pivotal for establishing confidentiality and ensuring the integrity of information transmitted over ...

The quantum threat to cybersecurity is easy enough to state. A quantum computer of sufficient size can efficiently factor integers and compute discrete logarithms by Shor's algorithm, breaking much of ...

Almost 20 years ago, Whit Diffie predicted that the public-key cryptography being widely used at the time would be strong enough for generations to come. In an article, "The First Ten Years of Public ...

Many discussions of “hybrid encryption” begin with some debate about just what this means. Hybrid encryption in general refers to the combined use of public-key (asymmetric) cryptography with ...
