  2. Linear probing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_probing

    Linear probing is a component of open addressing schemes for using a hash table to solve the dictionary problem.In the dictionary problem, a data structure should maintain a collection of key–value pairs subject to operations that insert or delete pairs from the collection or that search for the value associated with a given key.

  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. 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 ...

  6. Elliptic-curve cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic-curve_cryptography

    Elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) is an approach to public-key cryptography based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields.ECC allows smaller keys to provide equivalent security, compared to cryptosystems based on modular exponentiation in Galois fields, such as the RSA cryptosystem and ElGamal cryptosystem.

  7. Playfair cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playfair_cipher

    A good tutorial on reconstructing the key for a Playfair cipher can be found in chapter 7, "Solution to Polygraphic Substitution Systems," of Field Manual 34-40-2, produced by the United States Army. Another cryptanalysis of a Playfair cipher can be found in Chapter XXI of Helen Fouché Gaines' Cryptanalysis / a study of ciphers and their ...

  8. 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 26 n 2 {\displaystyle 26^{n^{2}}} matrices of dimension n × n . Thus log 2 ⁡ ( 26 n 2 ) {\displaystyle \log _{2}(26^{n^{2}})} or about 4.7 n 2 {\displaystyle 4.7n^{2}} is an upper bound on the key size of the Hill cipher using n × n matrices.

  9. Binary heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_heap

    The average case is more complex to analyze, but it can be shown to asymptotically approach 1.8814 n − 2 log 2 n + O(1) comparisons. [10] [11] The Build-Max-Heap function that follows, converts an array A which stores a complete binary tree with n nodes to a max-heap by repeatedly using Max-Heapify (down-heapify for a max-heap) in a bottom-up ...
