  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. PKCS 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKCS_1

    In cryptography, PKCS #1 is the first of a family of standards called Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS), published by RSA Laboratories.It provides the basic definitions of and recommendations for implementing the RSA algorithm for public-key cryptography.

  4. RSA problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_problem

    In cryptography, the RSA problem summarizes the task of performing an RSA private-key operation given only the public key. The RSA algorithm raises a message to an exponent, modulo a composite number N whose factors are not known. Thus, the task can be neatly described as finding the e th roots of an arbitrary number, modulo N.

  5. PKCS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKCS

    In cryptography, PKCS (Public Key Cryptography Standards) are a group of public-key cryptography standards devised and published by RSA Security LLC, starting in the early 1990s. The company published the standards to promote the use of the cryptography techniques for which they had patents , such as the RSA algorithm , the Schnorr signature ...

  6. Elliptic-curve cryptography - Wikipedia

    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 .

  7. Deterministic encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_encryption

    If, however, the receiver wants to search for a specific record in the database, this becomes very difficult. There are some Public Key encryption schemes that allow keyword search, [1] [2] [3] however these schemes all require search time linear in the database size. If the database entries were encrypted with a deterministic scheme and sorted ...

  8. PBKDF2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2

    PBKDF2 is part of RSA Laboratories' Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) series, specifically PKCS #5 v2.0, also published as Internet Engineering Task Force's RFC 2898. It supersedes PBKDF1, which could only produce derived keys up to 160 bits long. [2] RFC 8018 (PKCS #5 v2.1), published in 2017, recommends PBKDF2 for password hashing. [3]

  9. Public key fingerprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_fingerprint

    In public-key cryptography, a public key fingerprint is a short sequence of bytes used to identify a longer public key. Fingerprints are created by applying a cryptographic hash function to a public key. Since fingerprints are shorter than the keys they refer to, they can be used to simplify certain key management tasks.
