Researchers have solved one aspect of the discrete logarithm problem. This is considered to be one of the 'holy grails' of algorithmic number theory, on which the security of many 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 ...

Common cryptographic methods, especially Public Key Crypto Systems, PKCS based on difficulty to factor large integers or to compute the discrete logarithm, commonly deployed today will not resist ...

The asymmetric cryptography on which so much security on the Internet is based relies on one of two mathematical assumptions to work: that it is impossible, other than through brute force, to ...

New quantum estimates reveal Bitcoin encryption may be more vulnerable soon ...

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 ...

When it comes to securing data, it is not too early to start anticipating the future threat of quantum computing. Today’s cryptographic technology based on elliptic curves will not withstand the ...
