Programmers Whitfield Diffie and Martin E. Hellman, who developed the first form of cryptography for the internet era, have been awarded this year’s Turing Award. Named after famed British ...

Seems to me that the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol results in a symmetric shared private key. However, the books I've used for Security+ prep put it with RSA as a public-key algorithm.

On Tuesday, the Association for Computing Machinery, the nation’s leading organization for computer science, awarded its annual top prize of $1 million to two men whose name will forever be ...

Today we’re going to talk about how to keep information secret, and this isn’t a new goal. We’re going to walk you through some common encryption techniques such as the Advanced Encryption Standard ...

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 ...

Asymmetric cryptography or public-key cryptography is cryptography in which a pair of keys is used to encrypt and decrypt a message so that it arrives securely. Initially, a network user receives a ...

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 ...

TheAssociation of Computing Machinery on Tuesday named Whitfield Diffie and Martin E. Hellman recipients of the 2015 ACM A.M. Turing Award for their contributions to modern cryptography. Their ...

On Tuesday, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) announced that Whitfield Diffie, a consulting scholar at Stanford’s Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) and former Chief ...

If you’ve picked up a newspaper in the last two weeks, you’ve probably read something about digital encryption. It’s at the heart of the debate between the FBI and Apple: Can the government compel the ...
