Cybersecurity’s global alarm system is breaking down
The US system to track vulnerabilities is struggling to keep up with its backlog. Experts are scrambling to assemble alternatives.

Efficient Modular Multiplier over GF (2^m) for ECPM
Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) has emerged as the dominant public-key protocol, with NIST standardizing parameters for binary field GF(2^m) ECC systems. This work presents a hardware implementation of a Hybrid Multiplication technique for modular multiplication over binary field GF(2m), targeting NIST B-163, 233, 283, and 571 parameters. The design optimizes the combination of conventional multiplication (CM) and Karatsuba multiplication (KM) to enhance elliptic curve point multiplication (E…

A Comparative Study and Implementation of Key Derivation Functions Standardized by NIST and IEEE
Since many applications and services require pseudorandom numbers (PRNs), it is feasible to generate specific PRNs under given key values and input messages using Key Derivation Functions (KDFs). These KDFs are primarily constructed based on Message Authentication Codes (MACs), where the MAC serves as a core component in the generation of pseudorandom numbers. In light of this, the study first examines three MAC algorithms defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST): th…

Blaue Holzbiene
Es brummte. Nachgesehen: Überraschung.
Sie braucht Totholz als Nistplatz. Lasst mal ordentlich naturbelassenes Holz im Garten liegen. https://www.nabu.de/tiere-und-pflanzen/insekten-und-spinnen/hautfluegler/bienen/24333.html
