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 ...

On Tuesday, a team of computer scientists released a report (.PDF) documenting cryptographic problems with the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, a popular algorithm used by Internet protocols to agree on a ...

Martin Hellman achieved legendary status as co-inventor of the Diffie-Hellman public key exchange algorithm, a breakthrough in software and computer cryptography. That invention and his ongoing work ...

RSA key transport cipher suites could be deprecated in TLS 1.3 in favor of Diffie-Hellman Exchange or Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman. The IETF working group responsible for the TLS 1.3 standard is ...

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 ...

It’s actually possible for entities with vast computing resources – such as the NSA and major national governments – to compromise commonly used Diffie-Hellman key exchange groups, so it’s time for ...

In the realm of secure communications, data exchange and secret key agreement algorithms are pivotal for establishing confidentiality and ensuring the integrity of information transmitted over ...
