Journal ArticleDOI
New Directions in Cryptography
TL;DR: This paper suggests ways to solve currently open problems in cryptography, and discusses how the theories of communication and computation are beginning to provide the tools to solve cryptographic problems of long standing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Authentication and authenticated key exchanges
TL;DR: A simple, efficient protocol referred to as the station-to-station (STS) protocol is introduced, examined in detail, and considered in relation to existing protocols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Privacy and authentication: An introduction to cryptography
TL;DR: The basic information theoretic and computational properties of classical and modern cryptographic systems are presented, followed by cryptanalytic examination of several important systems and an examination of the application of cryptography to the security of timesharing systems and computer networks.
Book
The first ten years of public-key cryptography
TL;DR: The development of public-key cryptography is described in this article, and its principles are elucidated, including exponential key exchange, the trap-door knapsack public key cryptosystem, the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) system, and the breaking of the Knapsack Cryptosystem.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Multiuser cryptographic techniques
TL;DR: It is shown how such a public key cryptosystem would allow the development of an authentication system which generates an unforgeable, message dependent digital signature.
