Karsten Nohl, the founder of Berlin's Security Research Labs, has announced an exploit for SIM cards using the outdated 56-bit DES algorithm for its signature verification. The security researcher ...

Chapter 3 of the Cryptographic Handbook delves into how modern cryptographic algorithms are implemented.

Two researchers have improved a well-known technique for lattice basis reduction, opening up new avenues for practical experiments in cryptography and mathematics.

This paper specifies the modification of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) and the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA) which may organizations to protect sensitive data.

“John the Ripper” Open Source Password Cracker Offers Increased Speed Through 17 Percent Improvement in Gate Count for Data Encryption Standard (DES) Algorithm ...

Multivariate cryptography and finite field algorithms are two interlocking research areas that underpin many modern cryptographic systems and computational methods.

One important tool in this work is the LLL algorithm, named after the researchers who published it in 1982 — Arjen Lenstra, Hendrik Lenstra Jr. and László Lovász. LLL, along with its many descendants, ...

Public key cryptography (PKC) algorithms use a pair of keys to perform data encoding and decoding. When one of them is used for encryption, the other one must be used for decryption. For a brief ...
