A cryptographic key exchange method developed by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman in 1976. Also known as the "Diffie-Hellman-Merkle" method and "exponential key agreement." Diffie-Hellman enables ...

Twenty years before the Internet would create a need for it, a public-key cryptographic standard was discovered and patented by Whitfield Diffie, along with another student and a professor at Stanford ...

Implementing Internet key exchange (IKE) capabilities in standalone ASICs housing IPSec and other security tasks may appear to be a benefit to designers on paper. However, in real implementations, ...

In the 1970s, Whitfield Diffie co-wrote the recipe for one of today’s most widely used security algorithms in a paper called “New Directions in Cryptography.” The paper was a blueprint of what came to ...

Martin Hellman achieved legendary status as co-inventor of the Diffie-Hellman public key exchange algorithm, a breakthrough in software and computer cryptography. That invention and his ongoing work ...

Hot on the heels of Diffie-Hellman upending the cryptography applecart in 1976 came three more crypto newcomers that further revolutionized the field: Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The ...
