Why You Should Swap Passwords for Passphrases

The advice didn't change for decades: use complex passwords with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. The idea is to make passwords harder for hackers to crack via brute force methods. But more recent guidance shows our focus should be on password length, rather than complexity. Length is...

PoSyn: Secure Power Side-Channel Aware Synthesis

Power Side-Channel PSC attacks exploit power consumption patterns to extract sensitive information, posing risks to cryptographic operations crucial for secure systems. Traditional countermeasures, such as masking, face challenges including complex integration during synthesis, substantial area...

Secured Encryption Scheme Based on the Ree Groups

An improved design of a cryptosystem based on small Ree groups is proposed. We have changed the encryption algorithm and propose to use a logarithmic signature for the entire Ree group. This approach improves security against sequential key recovery attacks. Hence, the complexity of the key...
