  2. RSA (cryptosystem) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem)

    The security of RSA relies on the practical difficulty of factoring the product of two large prime numbers, the "factoring problem". Breaking RSA encryption is known as the RSA problem. Whether it is as difficult as the factoring problem is an open question. [3] There are no published methods to defeat the system if a large enough key is used.

  3. Key size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_size

    In cryptography, key size or key length refers to the number of bits in a key used by a cryptographic algorithm (such as a cipher). Key length defines the upper-bound on an algorithm's security (i.e. a logarithmic measure of the fastest known attack against an algorithm), because the security of all algorithms can be violated by brute-force ...

  4. Block size (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_size_(cryptography)

    Thus even when used with a proper encryption mode (e.g. CBC or OFB), only 2 32 × 8 B = 32 GB of data can be safely sent under one key. [citation needed] In practice a greater margin of security is desired, restricting a single key to the encryption of much less data — say a few hundred megabytes. At one point that seemed like a fair amount ...

  5. PKCS 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKCS_1

    The PKCS #1 standard defines the mathematical definitions and properties that RSA public and private keys must have. The traditional key pair is based on a modulus, n, that is the product of two distinct large prime numbers, p and q, such that =.

  6. Disk encryption theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_encryption_theory

    The publication approves the XTS-AES mode of the AES algorithm by reference to the IEEE Std 1619-2007, subject to one additional requirement, which limits the maximum size of each encrypted data unit (typically a sector or disk block) to 2 20 AES blocks. According to SP 800-38E, "In the absence of authentication or access control, XTS-AES ...

  8. Security level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_level

    In cryptography, security level is a measure of the strength that a cryptographic primitive — such as a cipher or hash function — achieves. Security level is usually expressed as a number of "bits of security" (also security strength), [1] where n-bit security means that the attacker would have to perform 2 n operations to break it, [2] but other methods have been proposed that more ...

  9. Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite - Wikipedia

    RSA with a minimum modulus size of 3072. [2] The CNSA transition is notable for moving RSA from a temporary legacy status, as it appeared in Suite B, to supported status. It also did not include the Digital Signature Algorithm. This, and the overall delivery and timing of the announcement, in the absence of post-quantum standards, raised ...
