Asymmetric cryptography or public-key cryptography is cryptography in which a pair of keys is used to encrypt and decrypt a message so that it arrives ...

The new Logjam attack on export-grade Diffie-Hellman key exchange can downgrade the security of connections and allow attackers to decrypt traffic.

For background on cryptography in practice that is written by a professional in the field, with details on Diffie-Hellman, RSA and many other algorithms, find a copy of Bruce Schneier's Applied ...

Although Diffie-Hellman is an asymmetric algorithm, it does not use public and private keys like the popular RSA method.

Programmers Whitfield Diffie and Martin E. Hellman, who developed the first form of cryptography for the internet era, have been awarded this year’s Turing Award. Named after famed British ...

Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman, whose names have been linked since their seminal paper introduced the concepts of public key encryption and digital signatures some 40 years ago, have been ...
