The elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) lies at the heart of modern public-key cryptography. It concerns the challenge of determining an unknown scalar multiplier given two points on an ...

In August, a pair of mathematicians discovered an exotic, record-breaking curve. In doing so, they tapped into a major open question about one of the oldest and most fundamental kinds of equations in ...

Every reliable system starts with security. From IoT devices sending data to the cloud, to automotive ECUs verifying their identity, to industrial machines coordinating in real time, all depend on ...

A July 15 report by global consulting firm Capgemini warns that public-key cryptographic systems, including RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), may be rendered obsolete by quantum machines in ...
