  2. RSA (cryptosystem) - Wikipedia

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

    The RSA problem is defined as the task of taking e th roots modulo a composite n: recovering a value m such that c ≡ m e (mod n), where (n, e) is an RSA public key, and c is an RSA ciphertext. Currently the most promising approach to solving the RSA problem is to factor the modulus n.

  3. Public-key cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

    2) Using Alice's public key, Bob can verify that Alice sent the message and that the message has not been modified. Public-key cryptography, or asymmetric cryptography, is the field of cryptographic systems that use pairs of related keys. Each key pair consists of a public key and a corresponding private key.

  4. Lattice-based cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice-based_cryptography

    Lattice-based cryptographic constructions hold a great promise for public-key post-quantum cryptography. [36] Indeed, the main alternative forms of public-key cryptography are schemes based on the hardness of factoring and related problems and schemes based on the hardness of the discrete logarithm and related problems.

  5. Public key certificate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_certificate

    Common values include TLS server authentication, email protection, and code signing. Public Key: A public key belonging to the certificate subject. Signature Algorithm: This contain a hashing algorithm and a digital signature algorithm. For example "sha256RSA" where sha256 is the hashing algorithm and RSA is the signature algorithm.

  6. Key encapsulation mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_encapsulation_mechanism

    A key encapsulation mechanism, to securely transport a secret key from a sender to a receiver, consists of three algorithms: Gen, Encap, and Decap. Circles shaded blue—the receiver's public key and the encapsulation —can be safely revealed to an adversary, while boxes shaded red—the receiver's private key and the encapsulated secret key —must be kept secret.

  7. Key generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_generation

    Public-key algorithms use a public key and a private key. The public key is made available to anyone (often by means of a digital certificate). A sender encrypts data with the receiver's public key; only the holder of the private key can decrypt this data. Since public-key algorithms tend to be much slower than symmetric-key algorithms, modern ...

  8. PKCS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKCS

    PKCS Standards Summary; Version Name Comments PKCS #1: 2.2: RSA Cryptography Standard [1]: See RFC 8017. Defines the mathematical properties and format of RSA public and private keys (ASN.1-encoded in clear-text), and the basic algorithms and encoding/padding schemes for performing RSA encryption, decryption, and producing and verifying signatures.

  9. Cryptographic primitive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_primitive

    Symmetric key cryptography—compute a ciphertext decodable with the same key used to encode (e.g., AES) Public-key cryptography—compute a ciphertext decodable with a different key used to encode (e.g., RSA) Digital signatures—confirm the author of a message; Mix network—pool communications from many users to anonymize what came from whom
