Today, April 24, Giancarlo Lelli, an Italian researcher, was awarded a one-Bitcoin prize after the world’s largest ...

We all know the usual jokes about the ‘S’ in ‘IoT’ standing for ‘Security’. It’s hardly a secret that security in embedded, networked devices (‘IoT devices’) is all too often a last-minute task that ...

Researcher breaks 15-bit ECC key on publicly accessible quantum hardware in a 512x jump from the previous public ...

Independent researcher Giancarlo Lelli broke a 15-bit elliptic curve key on publicly accessible quantum hardware, 512 times ...

Researcher breaks ECC key using quantum hardware, raising concerns about Bitcoin security and urging faster shift to post-quantum protection systems.

When it comes to public key cryptography, most systems today are still stuck in the 1970s. On December 14, 1977, two events occurred that would change the world: Paramount Pictures released Saturday ...

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 ...

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 ...
