In this article, we look at the elliptic curve cryptography, which is believed to be one of the most promising candidates for the next generation cryptographic tool. The following ...
The concept of public-key cryptography was invented in 1976 by Diffie and Hellman [DH]. The following year, Rivest, Shamir and Adleman provided an implementation of this idea [RSA]...
Signcryption, first proposed by Zheng [4,5], is a cryptographic primitive which combines both the functions of digital signature and public key encryption in a logical single step,...
A basic function of all signatures, digital or not, is to express trust and authority, explicit or implied. This is especially the case with digital signatures used in certificates...
