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 ...

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) has emerged as a cornerstone of modern public‐key systems, offering high levels of security with relatively small key sizes. Central to many advanced cryptographic ...

Bitcoin relies on several algorithms to secure the coin from theft. Prominent among these is the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). An ECDSA employs asymmetric encryption to generate ...

This is the third in a series of papers in which we study the n-Selmer group of an elliptic curve, with the aim of representing its elements as curves of degree n in ℙn – 1. The methods we describe ...

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 ...

Amidst all of the confusion and concern over an encryption algorithm that may contain an NSA backdoor, RSA Security released an advisory to developer customers today noting that the algorithm is the ...
