The King of Backdoors: Discussing Mathematical Backdoors in Encryption Algorithms

Governments and intelligence agencies strive to control or bypass the encryption protections on data and communications, and creating a backdoor in encryption algorithms is seen as the best way to achieve encryption control. Security researchers often look for vulnerabilities in the implementation of encryption algorithms but do not invest much effort in searching for mathematical … Read more
