The Diffie-Hellman key exchange (DHKE) is different then most of the cryptography we have been covering in this blog. That is because we
Symmetric cryptography is split into two types, stream ciphers, and block ciphers. Stream ciphers encrypt one bit at a time and block …
The shift cipher, or the better-known name the Caesar cipher named after Julius Caesar is one of the simplest encryption techniques. In …
Modular Arithmetic An important question and one that I kept asking if I should dedicate a post to modular arithmetic …
The Substitution Cipher We will discuss one of the simplest ciphers, the substitution cipher. This cipher has a lot of …

Introduction Today we won’t actually learn about any new math concepts or algorithms. Instead, we will build upon what we have already. Particularly

Motivation In the next few posts I want to discuss the Advanced Encryption Standard or better known as AES, which is the most

Symmetric cryptography is split into two types, stream ciphers, and block ciphers. Stream ciphers encrypt one bit at a time and block ciphers encrypt multiple
