More concepts to explore

  • RSA

    RSA uses modular exponentiation with related exponents; secure encryption requires appropriate padding and parameters.

  • Symmetric encryption

    A shared secret key supports encryption and decryption under a specified scheme.

  • Chinese remainder theorem

    Pairwise coprime moduli give a unique combined congruence class modulo their product.

  • Cryptographic hashes

    Cryptographic hashes aim at preimage and collision resistance; hashing alone is not encryption.

  • Cryptographic security models

    Security depends on defined adversary capabilities, assumptions and failure probability.
