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 ...

Digital signatures are used to verify that electronic messages and data have come from the proper sender and to irrevocably certify that data was not tampered with or changed during transition from ...

Quantum computing technology is developing rapidly, promising to solve many of society’s most intractable problems. However, as researchers race to build quantum computers that would operate in ...

The first draft standards for quantum-resistant public key cryptography based on algorithms chosen by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) are now available for public comment.

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 ...
