The Diffie-Hellman algorithm was a stunning breakthrough in cryptography that showed cryptographic keys could be securely exchanged in plain sight. Here’s how it works. Whitfield Diffie and Martin ...

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 ...

Usually, when you hear about broken cryptography, it’s because of some sort of nonmathematical workaround to compromise supposedly encrypted traffic—like intercepting traffic during brief periods when ...

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 ...

A cryptographic key exchange method developed by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman in 1976. Also known as the "Diffie-Hellman-Merkle" method and "exponential key agreement." Diffie-Hellman enables ...

BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quantum Xchange, provider of the first quantum key distribution (QKD) network in the U.S., today announced that Dr. Whitfield “Whit” Diffie has joined the company’s ...

Researchers have uncovered a flaw in the way that some servers handle the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, a bug that’s somewhat similar to the FREAK attack and threatens the security of many Web and mail ...
