Energy Analysis of Public-Key Cryptography for Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview In this paper, the energy cost of authentication and key exchange are quantified based on public-key cryptography on an 8-bit microcontroller platform. The paper presents a comparison of two public-key algorithms, RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), and considers mutual authentication and key exchange between two untrusted parties such as two nodes in a wireless sensor network. The measurements on an Atmel ATmega128L low-power microcontroller indicate that public-key cryptography is very viable on 8-bit energy-constrained platforms even if implemented in software.

Private bits - the battle to safeguard data through encryption

As for storage - cryptography can be used to protect stationary files by limiting access to a selected group of people. Cryptography, the science of encryption or the ability to encode and decode messages, has entered mainstream communications.

Make our anti-spam tech the standard, say Yahoo! and Cisco

With DKIM, which relies on public key cryptography, a digital signature is attached to outgoing email so recipients can verify that the message comes from its claimed source. Mail, said: "This is a big milestone for us and the email authentication...

Can email ID beat the spammers?

DKIM relies on public key cryptography. The promise of email authentication is too good to ignore but if it is implemented incorrectly it will break a company's mail system instead of fixing it, experts have cautioned.

The digital signatures, which use public key cryptography, are viewed as unforgeable. Signatures by authorised third parties are permitted as well, which is useful for outsourced email. are behind the push for DomainKeys, which the companies said...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
