Encryption, the transformation of data into a form that prevents anyone unauthorized from understanding that data, is a fundamental technology that enables online commerce, secure communication, and ...

This is achieved through asymmetric cryptography (public/private key pairs) that current computers find infeasible to break. For example, algorithms like RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) ...

When reviewing the WireGuard VPN last fall, one of the things that came up was WireGuard's support for an optional, additional PSK (Pre Shared Key) layer of security. Like most modern crypto, ...

Malware injection has become a critical threat to embedded systems. Implementing an asymmetric cryptography-based secure boot is the best protection against this class of attacks. This application ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

Novachips Co., Ltd., an innovator in flash storage solutions, today introduced the new P2-series SSDs, which will allow the ...

Advances in quantum computing technology threaten the security of current cryptosystems. Asymmetric cryptography algorithms that are used by modern security protocols for key exchange and digital ...

There is no doubt that quantum computers will play a significant role in helping the world solve complex challenges not possible on current classical computers. However, quantum computers also pose a ...

So far in this chapter we have focused on the choice of a single class of algorithms, hashes, as a way to get the most performance out of our security. While hashes are extremely useful for a wide ...
