Faced with the requirement of computing symmetric key from the result of Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange according to a specification, the primary ingredient for such calculation is the result itself. Read on to see how Interesting things you may find if you need to use YubiKey's OpenPGP Card application as a foundational component of any solution.

If you ever wondered, how does the cryptography Cryptoucan™ actually employ look like and how do the elliptic curves used actually look, now it is time you wonder no more. Read on to see what does the curve used for encryption look like!

Although we are dealing mostly with asymmetric encryption here at Trustica, truth is that in the end you need to encrypt stuff using some symmetric algorithm. Just exchanging the symmetric keys is not enough - the symmetric cipher must be built from strong cryptographic primitives creating both confusion and diffusion. Read on to find out what one of my Cryptography class students proposed.

Designing a perfect storage for your private keys is one thing. But generally speaking - using cryptography properly is much bigger challenge for the users and all the software in security ecosystem. Read on to find some interesting aspects of symmetric ciphers you might not have known about.

Developing a cryptographic device requires going through all different parts of the system to deliver something the user can really trust. Read on to see why you should care what cryptographic primitives and how your devices use internally.
