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 ...

When it comes to public key cryptography, most systems today are still stuck in the 1970s. On December 14, 1977, two events occurred that would change the world: Paramount Pictures released Saturday ...

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 ...

We all know the usual jokes about the ‘S’ in ‘IoT’ standing for ‘Security’. It’s hardly a secret that security in embedded, networked devices (‘IoT devices’) is all too often a last-minute task that ...

A July 15 report by global consulting firm Capgemini warns that public-key cryptographic systems, including RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), may be rendered obsolete by quantum machines in ...

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 ...
