  2. RSA (cryptosystem) - Wikipedia

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

    An 829-bit key has been broken. RSA (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman) is a public-key cryptosystem, one of the oldest widely used for secure data transmission. The initialism "RSA" comes from the surnames of Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, who publicly described the algorithm in 1977. An equivalent system was developed secretly in 1973 at ...

  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 attacks.

  4. Advanced Encryption Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard

    This attack is against AES-256 that uses only two related keys and 239time to recover the complete 256-bit key of a 9-round version, or 245time for a 10-round version with a stronger type of related subkey attack, or 270time for an 11-round version. The Advanced Encryption Standard(AES), also known by its original name Rijndael(Dutch ...

  5. ElGamal encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ElGamal_encryption

    In cryptography, the ElGamal encryption system is an asymmetric key encryption algorithm for public-key cryptography which is based on the Diffie–Hellman key exchange. It was described by Taher Elgamal in 1985. [ 1 ]

  6. Encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encryption

    Encryption. In cryptography, encryption is the process of transforming (more specifically, encoding) information in a way that, ideally, only authorized parties can decode. This process converts the original representation of the information, known as plaintext, into an alternative form known as ciphertext. Despite its goal, encryption does not ...

  7. NTRUEncrypt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTRUEncrypt

    NTRUEncrypt. The NTRUEncrypt public key cryptosystem, also known as the NTRU encryption algorithm, is an NTRU lattice-based alternative to RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and is based on the shortest vector problem in a lattice (which is not known to be breakable using quantum computers). It relies on the presumed difficulty of ...

  8. Data Encryption Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Encryption_Standard

    The Data Encryption Standard (DES / ˌdiːˌiːˈɛs, dɛz /) is a symmetric-key algorithm for the encryption of digital data. Although its short key length of 56 bits makes it too insecure for modern applications, it has been highly influential in the advancement of cryptography. Developed in the early 1970s at IBM and based on an earlier ...
