Known as the 'Cramer-Shoup' cryptosystem, it is a coding system that secures information sent over public networks. IBM Research has unveiled a cryptography system which it claims is the best yet at preventing the most dangerous hacker invasions...
Paddy Holahan, VP Business development at Baltimore Technologies, a Dublin-based security firm, said: "Sarah did work experience with us last year, where she was inspired by our founder, Matthew Purser, to get working on cryptography.
Cryptography can be deployed for two different purposes: either when transporting a message from A to B or storing sensitive information," explained Graham Welch, UK VP at RSA Security. As for storage - cryptography can be used to protect...
Elliptic curve cryptography will enable secure communications with devices that don't have as much calculating power as most desktop computers, said Whitfield Diffie, Sun's chief security officer and a pioneer of the Diffie-Hellman "public key...
Nevertheless, Nokia's stance hasn't gone down well with everyone, with some other manufacturers viewing it as the bigger kid throwing its weight around. It will accelerate take-up by giving consumers the opportunity to invest in PTT earlier.
As part of its initiatives, Sun plans to introduce Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 with support for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). This is not meant to replace current RSA encryption technology with ECC but rather allows the processing of both.
