Public key encryption with equality test (PKEET) represents a significant advance in cryptographic research. This technology allows a designated tester to determine whether two independently generated ...

An encryption method for transmitting data that uses key pairs, comprising one private and one public key. Public key cryptography is called "asymmetric encryption" because both keys are not equal. A ...

This course covers the basic knowledge in understanding and using cryptography. The main focus is on definitions, theoretical foundations, and rigorous proofs of security, with some programming ...

A new global survey reveals a dangerous gap in preparation for the quantum computing threat that might only be three years away.

Current public-key cryptography is expected to be broken by a large-scale quantum computer as soon as eight years from now. There is no question that quantum computing poses significant risks to the ...

If you’ve picked up a newspaper in the last two weeks, you’ve probably read something about digital encryption. It’s at the heart of the debate between the FBI and Apple: Can the government compel the ...

As the technology of computing has become more integrated into our daily lives, information security is becoming an increasing challenge. More and more confidential personal information, legal ...

In 1976, Martin E. Hellman and Whitfield Diffie created public-key cryptography—and with it transformed the world of digital security. Now, they’ve been honored with the 2016 Turing Award, often ...
