Imagine a World
Let’s play a game – “Imagine a World…” For this blog post, I’d like to propose playing a game called IMAGINE A WORLD, except when we play, I propose that...
Introducing the Shannon Score – an objective way of measuring Cryptographic strength
Over the past 50 years, cryptographic strength has traditionally been measured in bits due to the correlation between the bit length and the number of possible keys that can be...
Equivocation Graphs & Unicity Distance
Information Theoretic Security (ITS) is a cryptographic standard that guarantees security based on the laws of mathematics and information theory, regardless of the computational power or time available to the...
Cryptography Risks & Issues, Mitigating Actions and Consequences of getting it wrong
Cryptography is used everywhere, in fact its estimated that there are over a quintillion cryptographic events a day. That’s 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 encryption & decryption events, secret key exchanges, authentication & identity...
Measuring Cryptographic Strength – Practical, Perfect & Ideal Secrecy
BRIEF HISTORY OF MODERN CRYPTOGRAPHY The year is 1945, and Claude Shannon publishes a classified summary paper which is the foundation to modern cryptography – “A Mathematical Theory of Cryptography”...
