  2. Trapdoor function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapdoor_function

    Here the key t is the trapdoor and the padlock is the trapdoor function. An example of a simple mathematical trapdoor is "6895601 is the product of two prime numbers. What are those numbers?" A typical "brute-force" solution would be to try dividing 6895601 by many prime numbers until finding the answer. However, if one is told that 1931 is one ...

  3. Key derivation function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_derivation_function

    Example of a Key Derivation Function chain as used in the Signal Protocol.The output of one KDF function is the input to the next KDF function in the chain. In cryptography, a key derivation function (KDF) is a cryptographic algorithm that derives one or more secret keys from a secret value such as a master key, a password, or a passphrase using a pseudorandom function (which typically uses a ...

  4. Public-key cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

    Public-key cryptography, or asymmetric cryptography, is the field of cryptographic systems that use pairs of related keys. Each key pair consists of a public key and a corresponding private key. [1] [2] Key pairs are generated with cryptographic algorithms based on mathematical problems termed one-way functions.

    5. The pair OL forms a rectangle, replace it with NA: 6. The pair DI forms a rectangle, replace it with BE: 7. The pair NT forms a rectangle, replace it with KU: 8. The pair HE forms a rectangle, replace it with DM: 9. The pair TR forms a rectangle, replace it with UI: 10. The pair EX (X inserted to split EE) is in a row, replace it with XM: 11.

  6. Hill cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_cipher

    The effective key size, in number of bits, is the binary logarithm of the key space size. There are matrices of dimension n × n. Thus ⁡ or about is an upper bound on the key size of the Hill cipher using n × n matrices. This is only an upper bound because not every matrix is invertible and thus usable as a key.

  7. ADFGVX cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADFGVX_cipher

    The first letter of each ciphertext pair is the row, and the second ciphertext letter is the column, of the plaintext letter in the grid (e.g., "AF" means "row A, column F, in the grid"). Next, the fractionated message is subject to a columnar transposition. The message is written in rows under a transposition key (here "CARGO"):

  8. Diffie–Hellman key exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie–Hellman_key_exchange

    A = 5 4 mod 23 = 4 (in this example both A and a have the same value 4, but this is usually not the case) Bob chooses a secret integer b = 3, then sends Alice B = g b mod p. B = 5 3 mod 23 = 10; Alice computes s = B a mod p. s = 10 4 mod 23 = 18; Bob computes s = A b mod p. s = 4 3 mod 23 = 18; Alice and Bob now share a secret (the number 18).

  9. PBKDF2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2

    The first iteration of PRF uses Password as the PRF key and Salt concatenated with i encoded as a big-endian 32-bit integer as the input. (Note that i is a 1-based index.) Subsequent iterations of PRF use Password as the PRF key and the output of the previous PRF computation as the input: F(Password, Salt, c, i) = U 1 ^ U 2 ^ ⋯ ^ U c. where:
