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) ...

When it comes to public key cryptography, most systems today are still stuck in the 1970s. On December 14, 1977, two events occurred that would change the world: Paramount Pictures released Saturday ...

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require ...

Quantum computing's rapid progress threatens blockchain security, demanding urgent new cryptographic solutions.

Post-quantum cryptography is rapidly evolving to counter threats posed by quantum computing, and elliptic curves combined with isogeny methodologies offer a promising avenue. This approach leverages ...

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 ...

New research suggests that a quantum computer could crack a crucial cryptography method with just 10,000 qubits.

The good news is that many widely used primitives, such as AES, SHA‑2, and SHA‑3, are already considered quantum‑resistant. And for RSA and ECC, standardized PQC replacements now exist, with defined ...

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 ...
