This chapter excerpted from Hardware Implementation of Finite-Field Arithmetic, gives an example of finite-field application—namely, the implementation of the scalar product (point multiplication) ...

Attackers are recording, and sometimes forging, vast volumes of human communication. Some of this communication is protected by cryptographic systems such as the Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) system and ...

Before we move into the meat of this article, let’s define a couple terms related to cryptography. The syllable crypt may make you think of tombs, but it comes from a Greek word that means “hidden” or ...

Understand the crypto concepts behind the modern internet security infrastructure, from digital signatures and transport layer security to blockchains and Bitcoin. Cryptography grows ever more ...

Modern cryptography is embedded in countless digital systems and components. It's an essential tool for keeping data secure and private. Yet one of the biggest limitations with cryptography, including ...

Once quantum computers become a commercial reality, they will change the ground rules for cryptography. Here's how quantum cryptography would work, and an explanation of the benefits and pitfalls of ...

Confidential computing, quantum safe cryptography, and fully homomorphic encryption are set to change the future of data privacy as they make their way from a hypothesis to viable commercial ...

A long-sought “holy grail” in cryptography is poised to change the way we protect sensitive information. Today’s standard encryption schemes take an all-or-nothing approach. Once scrambled, your data ...

Michael Gao, the co-founder of California-based start-up Fabric Cryptography, makes a bold claim. “We’re going to do for cryptography what Nvidia has done for artificial intelligence (AI),” he says.
