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 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 ...

In discussing the Visual Studio Code Name "Orcas" January 2007 CTP I mentioned its managed classes for Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm cryptographic ...

Encryption is a key technology for federal agencies. Although encryption is the primary goal, many encryption systems depend on a combination of tools to accomplish other tasks. Public-key ...

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) has emerged as a cornerstone of modern public‐key systems, offering high levels of security with relatively small key sizes. Central to many advanced cryptographic ...

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 ...

Sometimes, it can take a decade or more before you get to say “I told you so.” Just ask Scott Vanstone. The founder of Certicom Corp. shifted his company from standard public-key cryptography systems ...

According to one of the world’s leading cryptographers, Bitcoin’s elliptic curve could have a secret backdoor, invalidating all underlying security. A Bitcoin public key is created by applying ...

We show that if E is an elliptic curve over Q with a Q-rational isogeny of degree 7, then the image of the 7-adic Galois representation attached to E is as large as allowed by the isogeny, except for ...

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 ...
