    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic-curve_cryptography

    Elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) is an approach to public-key cryptography based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields.ECC allows smaller keys to provide equivalent security, compared to cryptosystems based on modular exponentiation in Galois fields, such as the RSA cryptosystem and ElGamal cryptosystem.

  3. Curve25519 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve25519

    Curve25519. In cryptography, Curve25519 is an elliptic curve used in elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) offering 128 bits of security (256-bit key size) and designed for use with the Elliptic-curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) key agreement scheme. It is one of the fastest curves in ECC, and is not covered by any known patents. [1]

  4. Dual_EC_DRBG - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_EC_DRBG

    This does not leverage an elliptic curve discrete-log kleptogram and as a result requires a large-bandwidth subliminal channel to pull off. June 2004 A draft of ANSI X9.82, Part 3 is published, which includes Dual_EC_DRBG. It is unknown if earlier drafts were published. Sometime in 2004 RSA makes Dual_EC_DRBG the default CSPRNG in BSAFE.

  5. Elliptic-curve Diffie–Hellman - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic-curve_Diffie...

    Elliptic-curve Diffie–Hellman ( ECDH) is a key agreement protocol that allows two parties, each having an elliptic-curve public–private key pair, to establish a shared secret over an insecure channel. [1] [2] [3] This shared secret may be directly used as a key, or to derive another key. The key, or the derived key, can then be used to ...

  6. RSA (cryptosystem) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem)

    An 829-bit key has been broken. RSA ( Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) is a public-key cryptosystem, one of the oldest widely used for secure data transmission. The initialism "RSA" comes from the surnames of Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, who publicly described the algorithm in 1977. An equivalent system was developed secretly in 1973 ...

  7. Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_Digital...

    elliptic curve base point, a point on the curve that generates a subgroup of large prime order n. n. integer order of G, means that. n × G = O {\displaystyle n\times G=O} , where. O {\displaystyle O} is the identity element. d A {\displaystyle d_ {A}} the private key (randomly selected)

  8. Edwards curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwards_curve

    Edwards curves of equation x2 + y2 = 1 + d · x2 · y2 over the real numbers for d = −300 (red), d = − √ 8 (yellow) and d = 0.9 (blue) In mathematics, the Edwards curves are a family of elliptic curves studied by Harold Edwards in 2007. The concept of elliptic curves over finite fields is widely used in elliptic curve cryptography.

  9. Forward secrecy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_secrecy

    Leaking a key does not allow discovery of prior keys. In cryptography, forward secrecy ( FS ), also known as perfect forward secrecy ( PFS ), is a feature of specific key-agreement protocols that gives assurances that session keys will not be compromised even if long-term secrets used in the session key exchange are compromised, limiting damage.
