In public key cryptography, one of the keys is made public, typically the encryption key. So when a message is transmitted, it is encrypted using the public key of the recipient. The matching decryption key is kept private and known only to the recipient who can then use it to decrypt th...
Cryptography is the process of converting simple plain text into secret text called ciphertext, and converting ciphertext back to its original simple text, as shown in the Figure8-1. The process uses algorithms known as crypto-algorithms to perform the encryption and decryption process. Encrypt...
Implementing post-quantum, in our case lattice-based algorithms, is not simple. The mathematical problems behind the algorithms are complex, especially when comparing to commonly used public key algorithms like RSA. This makes finding mistakes in the implementations more difficult, and implementing the...

A question that may arise from this description is what happens if the line that is drawn between the two points does not intersect the curve again? In this case the line is said to intersect the curve at "infinity", and the result of the addition is the point𝒪. Notice that this ca...
This is the operation which is the key to the use of elliptic curves for asymmetric cryptography — the critical operation which is itself fairly simple, but whose inverse (the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem — defined below) is very difficult. ECC arranges itself so that when you ...
The basic idea is simple: Given a public key the prover wants to prove that they know the secret isogeny . To do this, as in SIDH, commit to an isogeny and the value , where and where and . The verifier sends a single bit, and the prover reveals either and its image on , or ...

Compared to a simple single-port SRAM, a dual-port SRAM has double the number of row and column decoders, write drivers and read sense amplifiers. Also, the bit-cells in a low-power dual-port SRAM consist of ten transistors (10T) compared to the usual six transistor (6T) bit-cells ...
