  2. Shamir's secret sharing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir's_secret_sharing

    The order q of the field (i.e. the number of values that it has) must be chosen to be greater than the number of participants and the number of values that the secret = may take. All calculations involving the polynomial must also be calculated over the field (mod p in our example, in which p = q {\displaystyle p=q} is taken to be a prime ...

  3. Key derivation function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_derivation_function

    Example of a Key Derivation Function chain as used in the Signal Protocol.The output of one KDF function is the input to the next KDF function in the chain. In cryptography, a key derivation function (KDF) is a cryptographic algorithm that derives one or more secret keys from a secret value such as a master key, a password, or a passphrase using a pseudorandom function (which typically uses a ...

  4. Diceware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diceware

    Diceware is a method for creating passphrases, passwords, and other cryptographic variables using ordinary dice as a hardware random number generator. For each word in the passphrase, five rolls of a six-sided die are required. The numbers from 1 to 6 that come up in the rolls are assembled as a five-digit number, e.g. 43146. That number is ...

  5. Line number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_number

    In computing, a line number is a method used to specify a particular sequence of characters in a text file.The most common method of assigning numbers to lines is to assign every line a unique number, starting at 1 for the first line, and incrementing by 1 for each successive line.

  6. PBKDF2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2

    When the standard was written in the year 2000 the recommended minimum number of iterations was 1,000, but the parameter is intended to be increased over time as CPU speeds increase. A Kerberos standard in 2005 recommended 4,096 iterations; [ 1 ] Apple reportedly used 2,000 for iOS 3 , and 10,000 for iOS 4 ; [ 4 ] while LastPass in 2011 used ...

  7. Passphrase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passphrase

    Passphrase generator in Bitwarden. A passphrase is a sequence of words or other text used to control access to a computer system, program or data.It is similar to a password in usage, but a passphrase is generally longer for added security.

  8. Brute-force attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack

    A number of firms provide hardware-based FPGA cryptographic analysis solutions from a single FPGA PCI Express card up to dedicated FPGA computers. [ citation needed ] WPA and WPA2 encryption have successfully been brute-force attacked by reducing the workload by a factor of 50 in comparison to conventional CPUs [ 11 ] [ 12 ] and some hundred in ...

  9. Cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptography

    The security of elliptic curve cryptography is based on number theoretic problems involving elliptic curves. Because of the difficulty of the underlying problems, most public-key algorithms involve operations such as modular multiplication and exponentiation, which are much more computationally expensive than the techniques used in most block ...
