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 ...

Researchers have reached a new milestone in the annals of cryptography with the factoring of the largest RSA key size ever computed and a matching computation of the largest-ever integer discrete ...

Consider an urn model where at each step one of q colors is sampled according to some probability distribution and a ball of that color is placed in an urn. The distribution of assigning balls to urns ...

Editor's note: See the original article on PurpleAlientPlanet. Some of my research is focused on the implementation issues of elliptic curve cryptography on embedded systems. Since I often have to ...

I study the speed with which finite Markov chains approach their stationary distribution. Recent work has focused on the analysis of two early birthday attacks on problems related to cryptography: ...

Project Eleven, a quantum computing research firm, has launched the Q-Day Prize, offering 1 Bitcoin (BTC) to the first individual or team that can break an elliptic curve cryptographic (ECC) key using ...
