Today we’re going to talk about how to keep information secret, and this isn’t a new goal. We’re going to walk you through some common encryption techniques such as the Advanced Encryption Standard ...

On Tuesday, the Association for Computing Machinery, the nation’s leading organization for computer science, awarded its annual top prize of $1 million to two men whose name will forever be ...

A team of cryptography experts is confident they have the answer as to how the NSA and other intelligence agencies break individual encrypted connections. The great mystery since the NSA and other ...

Usually, when you hear about broken cryptography, it’s because of some sort of nonmathematical workaround to compromise supposedly encrypted traffic—like intercepting traffic during brief periods when ...

Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...

It’s actually possible for entities with vast computing resources – such as the NSA and major national governments – to compromise commonly used Diffie-Hellman key exchange groups, so it’s time for ...

For years, privacy advocates have pushed developers of websites, virtual private network apps, and other cryptographic software to adopt the Diffie-Hellman cryptographic key exchange as a defense ...

TheAssociation of Computing Machinery on Tuesday named Whitfield Diffie and Martin E. Hellman recipients of the 2015 ACM A.M. Turing Award for their contributions to modern cryptography. Their ...

Programmers Whitfield Diffie and Martin E. Hellman, who developed the first form of cryptography for the internet era, have been awarded this year’s Turing Award. Named after famed British ...

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 ...
