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.

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 ...

How keys are distributed is vital to any encryption system. Find out how to do it with the Diffie–Hellman key exchange and using public-key cryptography.

The new Logjam attack on export-grade Diffie-Hellman key exchange can downgrade the security of connections and allow attackers to decrypt traffic.

However, 1024-bit Diffie-Hellman remains supported for the forseeable future despite its vulnerability to NSA surveillance.

Men behind Diffie-Hellman key exchange receive top computer science prize Pioneering work 40 years ago lead to PGP, TLS, and all your fav crypto protocols.

The researchers focus on Diffie-Hellman key exchange, a method for two parties to securely share a cryptographic key that was first published in 1976 and is widely used.

Diffie and Hellman are being honored for developing the first instance of public-key cryptography back in the 1970s. Called the Diffie–Hellman key exchange, the protocol established a way to ...
