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 ...

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 special-purpose chip hardwired to implement elliptic-curve cryptography in general and the datagram transport layer security protocol in particular reduces power consumption by 99.75 percent and ...

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is an asymmetric encryption approach that relies on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves defined over finite fields. By offering equivalent security to ...

Elliptic curve cryptography is used to secure authentication, for digital signatures such as those used in software updates, and for cryptocurrencies. So now Google and Cloudflare have moved up the ...

A quantum attack on Bitcoin would crash its price before any theft settles, moving the real risk to confidential data.

A public key cryptography method that provides fast decryption and digital signature processing. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) uses points on an elliptic curve to derive a 163-bit public key that ...

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 ...
