  2. 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 ...

  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. 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]

  5. EdDSA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EdDSA

    In contrast, EdDSA chooses the nonce deterministically as the hash of a part of the private key and the message. Thus, once a private key is generated, EdDSA has no further need for a random number generator in order to make signatures, and there is no danger that a broken random number generator used to make a signature will reveal the private ...

  7. Elliptic-curve Diffie–Hellman - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic-curve_Diffie...

    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.

  8. Public-key cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

    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. [1] [2] Key pairs are generated with cryptographic algorithms based on mathematical problems termed one-way functions.

  9. Message authentication code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_authentication_code

    The simplest such pairwise independent hash function is defined by the random key, key = (a, b), and the MAC tag for a message m is computed as tag = (am + b) mod p, where p is prime. More generally, k -independent hashing functions provide a secure message authentication code as long as the key is used less than k times for k -ways independent ...
