Karsten Nohl, the founder of Berlin's Security Research Labs, has announced an exploit for SIM cards using the outdated 56-bit DES algorithm for its signature verification.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

The Triple Data Encryption Standard, or Triple DES algorithm, evolved from the original DES algorithm introduced as a standard in 1976 (Reference 2, page 3). DES uses 56 bits of a 64-bit key to ...

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.

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

“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.

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 ...
