Abstract: The primary objective of any computer security algorithm is that the untrusted third party should not be able to read or gain knowledge about the data being communicated or stored in ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. The security of cryptographic applications critically relies on symmetric keys and private keys that are continually kept secret. The method used to ...

Almost 20 years ago, Whit Diffie predicted that the public-key cryptography being widely used at the time would be strong enough for generations to come. In an article, "The First Ten Years of Public ...

The key used for these kinds of symmetric encryption is called as File Encryption Key (or FEK). This FEK is in return encrypted with a public or a private key algorithm like RSA and stored with the ...

In the previous blog post, “Securing Offload Engines for a Robust Secure SoC System,” we briefly looked at some of the methods employed for achieving embedded security, i.e., cryptography, hardware ...

If you and I were to meet with no possibility of being overheard, we could agree upon the secret encryption key we would use in our public communications. One of the NIST-recognized encryption schemes ...
