Manufacturers of nearly all equipment types need to protect their products against the counterfeit components that aftermarket companies will attempt to introduce into the OEM supply chain. Secure ...

There are two fundamentally different authentication schemes: symmetric systems, which rely on secret keys shared by host and authenticator, and asymmetric systems, such as the Elliptic Curve Digital ...

For almost a decade, mathematicians have been researching faster ways to verify the elliptic-curve digital signatures algorithm (ECDSA). Today, Certicom Corp. (TSX: CIC), the authority for strong, ...

Digital signatures represent one of the most widely used security technologies for ensuring unforgeability and non-repudiation of digital data. The digital signature technique is generally used for ...

Project Eleven, a quantum computing research firm, has launched the Q-Day Prize, offering 1 Bitcoin (BTC) to the first individual or team that can break an elliptic curve cryptographic (ECC) key using ...

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 ...

The National Institute for Standards and Technology has released a revised version of its digital signature standard intended to keep it consistent with other cryptographic guidelines. The standard, ...

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 ...
