In cryptography, a zero-knowledge proof is a protocol in which one party (the prover) can convince another party (the verifier) that some given statement is true, without conveying to the verifier any information beyond the mere fact of that statement's truth. [1]
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to cryptography: Cryptography (or cryptology) – practice and study of hiding information. Modern cryptography intersects the disciplines of mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Applications of cryptography include ATM cards, computer passwords, and electronic ...
Cryptography is also a branch of engineering, but an unusual one since it deals with active, intelligent, and malevolent opposition; other kinds of engineering (e.g., civil or chemical engineering) need deal only with neutral natural forces. There is also active research examining the relationship between cryptographic problems and quantum physics.
Cryptography: An introduction ISBN 0-07-709987-7. Similar in intent to Applied Cryptography but less comprehensive. Covers more modern material and is aimed at undergraduates covering topics such as number theory and group theory not generally covered in cryptography books. Stinson, Douglas (2005). Cryptography: Theory and Practice ISBN 1-58488 ...
The Aristocrat Cipher, often referred to as the 'Aristocrat of Puzzles,' represented a significant shift in the paradigm of cryptography, particularly within the American Cryptogram Association, which popularized this challenging form of monoalphabetic substitution cipher.
The ones dealing with cryptography [3] began with number 15, [4]: p. 374 ff and consists of: [5] [6] 15, A Method of Reconstructing the Primary Alphabet From a Single One of the Series of Secondary Alphabets, 1917 [1]: pdf p. 9 16, Methods for the Solution of Running-Key Ciphers, 1918: pdf p. 23
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
