  2. BLAKE (hash function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAKE_(hash_function)

    BLAKE was submitted to the NIST hash function competition by Jean-Philippe Aumasson, Luca Henzen, Willi Meier, and Raphael C.-W. Phan. In 2008, there were 51 entries. BLAKE made it to the final round consisting of five candidates but lost to Keccak in 2012, which was selected for the SHA-3 algorithm.

  3. Key derivation function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_derivation_function

    Example of a Key Derivation Function chain as used in the Signal Protocol.The output of one KDF function is the input to the next KDF function in the chain. In cryptography, a key derivation function (KDF) is a cryptographic algorithm that derives one or more secret keys from a secret value such as a master key, a password, or a passphrase using a pseudorandom function (which typically uses a ...

  4. Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure...

    In the asymptotic setting, a family of deterministic polynomial time computable functions : {,} {,} for some polynomial p, is a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG, or PRG in some references), if it stretches the length of its input (() > for any k), and if its output is computationally indistinguishable from true randomness, i.e. for any probabilistic polynomial time algorithm A, which ...

  5. Key management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_management

    The advance of public key cryptography in the 1970s has made the exchange of keys less troublesome. Since the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol was published in 1975, it has become possible to exchange a key over an insecure communications channel, which has substantially reduced the risk of key disclosure during distribution.

  6. Comparison of cryptography libraries - Wikipedia

    This table denotes, if a cryptography library provides the technical requisites for FIPS 140, and the status of their FIPS 140 certification (according to NIST's CMVP search, [27] modules in process list [28] and implementation under test list). [29]

  7. 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.

  8. Nothing-up-my-sleeve number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing-up-my-sleeve_number

    Ron Rivest used pi to generate the S-box of the MD2 hash. [4]Ron Rivest used the trigonometric sine function to generate constants for the widely used MD5 hash. [5]The U.S. National Security Agency used the square roots of the first eight prime integers to produce the hash constants in their "Secure Hash Algorithm" functions, SHA-1 and SHA-2. [6]

  9. McEliece cryptosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McEliece_cryptosystem

    The attacker knows ^, the generator matrix of an (,) code ^ that is combinatorially able to correct errors. The attacker may ignore the fact that C ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {C}}} is really the obfuscation of a structured code chosen from a specific family, and instead just use an algorithm for decoding with any linear code.
