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 ...

The Diffie-Hellman algorithm was a stunning breakthrough in cryptography that showed cryptographic keys could be securely exchanged in plain sight. Here’s how it works. Whitfield Diffie and Martin ...

A formula used to turn ordinary data, or "plaintext," into a secret coded message known as "ciphertext." The ciphertext can reside in storage or travel over unsecure networks without its contents ...

Asymmetric encryption (public-key algorithms) involves a key pair: a public key for encryption or signature verification and a private key for decryption or signing. This category includes RSA, Diffie ...

In my previous article/video how does encryption work? I wrote about the principles of encryption starting with the Caesar cipher and following the development of cryptography through to the modern ...

Today's extremely large and complex ASIC and FPGA designs use significant amounts of third-party intellectual property (IP). These IP blocks may represent general-purpose processor cores, digital ...
