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 ...

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 ...

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is an asymmetric encryption approach that relies on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves defined over finite fields. By offering equivalent security to ...

In discussing the Visual Studio Code Name "Orcas" January 2007 CTP I mentioned its managed classes for Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm cryptographic ...

Manjul Bhargava was warned long ago never to think about math while driving. "I find doing mathematical research requires very deep concentration," said Bhargava, the Brandon Fradd, Class of 1983, ...

Scientists have found what they say is a link between complex number theory and string theory. A mathematician and physicist working together found the connection, which they say is part of plotting ...

Alexander Smith’s work on the Goldfeld conjecture reveals fundamental characteristics of elliptic curves. Elliptic curves seem to admit infinite variety, but they really only come in two flavors. That ...

Using high school algebra and geometry, and knowing just one rational point on a circle or elliptic curve, we can locate infinitely many others. You’re sitting at the end of a long conference table, ...

A public key cryptography method that provides fast decryption and digital signature processing. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) uses points on an elliptic curve to derive a 163-bit public key that ...

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 ...
