A Brief History of Cryptography: From Art to Science

A Brief History of Cryptography: From Art to Science

In May 2017, the WannaCry ransomware virus broke out globally, with some university students in mainland China reporting that their computers were attacked by the virus and documents were maliciously encrypted. The ransomware wreaked havoc, resembling a global internet disaster, causing significant losses to computer users. According to the latest statistics, over 100 countries and … Read more

The Birth of Asymmetric Encryption

The Birth of Asymmetric Encryption

Click the blue text Follow us The Birth of Asymmetric Encryption Tree Brother: Cryptography can be simply divided into classical cryptography and modern cryptography. We have already introduced substitution ciphers and the Enigma machine in classical cryptography, and now we will begin to discuss symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods in modern cryptography. I’m sure you … Read more

Understanding RSA Algorithm Principles (Part 2)

Last time, the author introduced some number theory knowledge. With this knowledge, we can understand the RSA algorithm. This is currently the most important encryption algorithm on Earth. 6. Steps for Key Generation We will understand the RSA algorithm through an example. Suppose Alice wants to communicate securely with Bob, how should she generate her … Read more

Understanding Asymmetric Cryptography Algorithms

Understanding Asymmetric Cryptography Algorithms

Classical cryptography primarily aims to encrypt information, ensuring the confidentiality of the data, with its secret attributes generally based on the proprietary nature of the encryption methods.This indicates that its service target must be a small group, as widespread promotion makes it difficult to ensure the encryption methods are not leaked, and its update cycle … Read more

Step-by-Step Analysis of RSA Public Key, Private Key, and Digital Signature Encryption Process

Step-by-Step Analysis of RSA Public Key, Private Key, and Digital Signature Encryption Process

Written by: Jiu Ge In 1977, three mathematicians Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman proposed a new asymmetric encryption algorithm, named after themselves, known as the RSA encryption algorithm. The knowledge of RSA involves advanced mathematics such as number theory and Euler’s function. If you do not have a background in higher mathematics, it is recommended not … Read more

Three Common Encryption Algorithms: MD5, Symmetric and Asymmetric Encryption

Three Common Encryption Algorithms: MD5, Symmetric and Asymmetric Encryption

1. MD5 Encryption MD5 encryption characteristics: irreversible operation (cannot be cracked, cannot be decrypted) The result of encrypting different data is a fixed-length 32-character string (no matter how large the file is, it remains the same). The result of encrypting the same data is the same (that is, it is copied). Resistance to modification: the … Read more
