In the 1970s, Whitfield Diffie co-wrote the recipe for one of today’s most widely used security algorithms in a paper called “New Directions in Cryptography.” The paper was a blueprint of what came to ...

For the third time in less than a year, security researchers have found a method to attack encrypted Web communications, a direct result of weaknesses that were mandated two decades ago by the U.S.

To protect users from cryptographic attacks that can compromise secure web connections, the popular Firefox browser will block access to HTTPS servers that use weak Diffie-Hellman keys. Diffie-Hellman ...

Cryptophone are showing a beta of their new encrypted messaging client at 3GSM. It's the sequel to their existing mod of Windows Mobile which makes secure phone calls. Using 4096bit Diffie - Hellman ...

A cryptographic key exchange method developed by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman in 1976. Also known as the "Diffie-Hellman-Merkle" method and "exponential key agreement." Diffie-Hellman enables ...

For Diffie-Hellman encryption, you want what is called a "safe prime," meaning a prime number p such that q = (p -1)/2 is also prime (IOW, a safe prime is the counterpart of a Sophie Germain prime).

A type of Diffie-Helman cryptography algorithm that uses elliptic curve cryptography. See Diffie-Hellman and elliptic curve cryptography. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other ...

Twenty years before the Internet would create a need for it, a public-key cryptographic standard was discovered and patented by Whitfield Diffie, along with another student and a professor at Stanford ...
