In this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...

In the previous blog post, “Securing Offload Engines for a Robust Secure SoC System,” we briefly looked at some of the methods employed for achieving embedded security, i.e., cryptography, hardware ...

Proof systems are a useful building block for authentication systems. They consist of a proving party and a verifying party, ...

Classical public-key cryptography derives its security from integer factorisation. Diagram by Venus Kolhi. Quantum computers bring exponential computing power, ultrafast calculations, advanced ...

In 1994, the computer scientist Peter Shor discovered that if quantum computers were ever invented, they would decimate much of the infrastructure used to protect information shared online. That ...

Security and Privacy studies the protection of information and systems in various computer science domains: operating/distributed system security, software security ...
