  2. Curve25519 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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]

  3. 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 .

  4. Elliptic-curve Diffie–Hellman - Wikipedia

    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.

  5. Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm - Wikipedia

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

    As with elliptic-curve cryptography in general, the bit size of the private key believed to be needed for ECDSA is about twice the size of the security level, in bits. [1] For example, at a security level of 80 bits—meaning an attacker requires a maximum of about 2 80 {\displaystyle 2^{80}} operations to find the private key—the size of an ...

  6. Integrated Encryption Scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Encryption_Scheme

    To send an encrypted message to Bob using ECIES, Alice needs the following information: The cryptography suite to be used, including a key derivation function (e.g., ANSI-X9.63-KDF with SHA-1 option), a message authentication code system (e.g., HMAC-SHA-1-160 with 160-bit keys or HMAC-SHA-1-80 with 80-bit keys) and a symmetric encryption scheme (e.g., TDEA in CBC mode or XOR encryption scheme ...

  7. Public-key cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

    For example, a software publisher can create a signature key pair and include the public key in software installed on computers. Later, the publisher can distribute an update to the software signed using the private key, and any computer receiving an update can confirm it is genuine by verifying the signature using the public key.

  8. Comparison of cryptography libraries - Wikipedia

    Table compares implementations of block ciphers. Block ciphers are defined as being deterministic and operating on a set number of bits (termed a block) using a symmetric key. Each block cipher can be broken up into the possible key sizes and block cipher modes it can be run with.

  9. Elliptic curve point multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_point...

    Example: 100P can be written as 2(2[P + 2(2[2(P + 2P)])]) and thus requires six point double operations and two point addition operations. 100P would be equal to f(P, 100). This algorithm requires log 2 (d) iterations of point doubling and addition to compute the full point multiplication. There are many variations of this algorithm such as ...
