Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman, whose names have been linked since their seminal paper introduced the concepts of public key encryption and digital signatures some 40 years ago, have been named ...

The Diffie-Hellman algorithm was a stunning breakthrough in cryptography that showed cryptographic keys could be securely exchanged in plain sight. Here’s how it works. Whitfield Diffie and Martin ...

A team of cryptography experts is confident they have the answer as to how the NSA and other intelligence agencies break individual encrypted connections. The great mystery since the NSA and other ...

Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman's privacy-protecting technology has become both an inextricable part of modern life and a scourge to law enforcement. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to ...

It’s actually possible for entities with vast computing resources – such as the NSA and major national governments – to compromise commonly used Diffie-Hellman key exchange groups, so it’s time for ...

Modern cryptography is embedded in countless digital systems and components. It's an essential tool for keeping data secure and private. Yet one of the biggest limitations with cryptography, including ...
