Asymmetric cryptography or public-key cryptography is cryptography in which a pair of keys is used to encrypt and decrypt a message so that it arrives securely. Initially, a network user receives a ...

A type of Diffie-Helman cryptography algorithm that uses elliptic curve cryptography. See Diffie-Hellman and elliptic curve cryptography. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other ...

Communicating "in the clear", Alice and Bob select two numbers, q and n. Alice then selects the secret number xa. Bob selects the secret number xb. From the two public numbers, q and n, and her secret ...

Twenty years before the Internet would create a need for it, a public-key cryptographic standard was discovered and patented by Whitfield Diffie, along with another student and a professor at Stanford ...

Researchers have uncovered a flaw in the way that some servers handle the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, a bug that’s somewhat similar to the FREAK attack and threatens the security of many Web and mail ...

Conjecture on cracked primes for the Diffie-Hellman asymmetric algorithm is in recent news, suggesting that several nations have broken primes in common use and can read all traffic: [root@host ~]# ...
