A plain-language tutorial on the most important security technology for Internet applications With major efforts underway to standardize a successful public key infrastructure (PKI) system, there is a growing need among network and security managers for authoritative information on PKI technology. This book offers a plain-language tutorial for ...
Cryptography, secret writing, is enjoying a scientific renaissance following the seminal discovery in 1977 of public-key cryptography and applications in computers and communications. This book gives a broad overview of public-key cryptography - its essence and advantages, various public-key cryptosystems, and protocols - as well as a ...
After two decades of research and development, elliptic curve cryptography now has widespread exposure and acceptance. Industry, banking, and government standards are in place to facilitate extensive deployment of this efficient public-key mechanism. Anchored by a comprehensive treatment of the practical aspects of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Practice and Theory in Public Key Cryptography, PKC 2001, held in Cheju Island, Korea in February 2001. The 30 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 67 submissions. The papers address all current issues in public key cryptography, ...
Identity-based encryption (IBE) is a new technology that allows the identity of users to be used as cryptographic keys instead of the long, random strings of bits that earlier technologies required. This allows for the creation of cryptographic systems that are as secure as traditional systems, but are much simpler and easier to use. Until now, ...
Since the appearance of the authors' first volume on elliptic curve cryptography in 1999 there has been tremendous progress in the field. In some topics, particularly point counting, the progress has been spectacular. Other topics such as the Weil and Tate pairings have been applied in new and important ways to cryptographic protocols that hold ...
A practical guide to Cryptography and its use in the Internet and other communication networks. This overview takes the reader through basic issues and on to more advanced concepts, to cover all levels of interest. Coverage includes all key mathematical concepts, standardisation, authentication, elliptic curve cryptography, and algorithm modes and ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Theory and Practice in Public-Key Cryptography, PKC 2006, held in New York, NY, USA in April 2006. The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 124 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on cryptanalysis and ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Workshop on Practice and Theory in Public-Key Cryptography, PKC 2008, held in Barcelona, Spain, in March 2008. The 21 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from 71 submissions. The papers are organized in topical ...
Knowledge of number theory and abstract algebra are pre-requisites for any engineer designing a secure internet-based system. However, most of the books currently available on the subject are aimed at practitioners who just want to know how the various tools available on the market work and what level of security they impart. These books ...
This collection of articles grew out of an expository and tutorial conference on public-key cryptography held at the Joint Mathematics Meetings (Baltimore). The book provides an introduction and survey on public-key cryptography for those with considerable mathematical maturity and general mathematical knowledge. Its goal is to bring visibility to ...
Although much literature exists on the subject of RSA and public-key cryptography, until now there has been no single source that reveals recent developments in the area at an accessible level. Acclaimed author Richard A. Mollin brings together all of the relevant information available on public-key cryptography (PKC), from RSA to the latest ...
The proceedings contain 20 selected, refered contributions arising from the International Conference on Public-Key Cryptography and Computational Number Theory held in Warsaw, Poland, on September 11-15, 2000. This volume contains articles from leading experts in the world on cryptography and computational number thoery, providing an account of ...
Expounds the role of trusted services and public key infrastructures in enabling the electronic delivery of government services to the public. The publication is the result of the work of the ICA Study Group on Trusted Services and PKI convened in 1999. This book discusses: E-commerce, the building blocks - trusted business environment for E ...
The thoroughly refereed proceedings of the Public Key Cryptography, PKC 2002, held in Paris, France in February 2002. This book presents 26 carefully reviewed papers selected from 69 submissions plus one invited talk. Among the topics addressed are encryption schemes, signature schemes, proto- cols, cryptanalysis, elliptic curve cryptography, and ...
Over the past years, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology has evolved and moved from the research laboratories to the mainstream, in which many organizations are now leveraging it as part of their core infrastructure system for providing and building security in their businesses. Understanding the challenges and requirements of PKI related ...
The first resource to focus on the security variances of RSA, "Cryptanalysis of RSA and Its Variants" is a comprehensive survey of the best known algebraic attacks on RSA and its main variants, including Rebalanced RSA, Multi-prime RSA, and Multi-factor RSA. The preliminary material introduces RSA and reviews all the mathematical background needed ...
This report on the state of the art and future directions of public-key cryptography is published in accordance with the terms of reference of the European Institute for System Security (EISS) and provides the results of an EISS workshop held in 1991.
