  1. 1. A Comparison Between Implementations of Cryptographic Algorithms and Their Efficiency in Smartphone Computing Environments : Exploring the Performance Trade-offs of Performing Cryptographic Work in Different Smartphone Development Frameworks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Ossian Dillner; [2023]
    Keywords : Cryptography; Security; Privacy; Smartphones; Kryptografi; Säkerhet; Integritet; Smartphones;

    Abstract : In the recent decade concern for privacy has massively increased in the public consciousness. As a result of this development, demand for end-to-end secure communications in all manner of applications has also seen a rapid increase. This development can however often be at odds with other consumer demands. READ MORE

  5. 4. On Pollard's rho method for solving the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för matematik (MA)

    Author : Jenny Falk; [2019]
    Keywords : elliptic curves; Pollard s rho method; elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem; cryptography; adding walk; mixed walk; cycle-detecting algorithm; iterating function; random walk;

    Abstract :     Cryptosystems based on elliptic curves are in wide-spread use, they are considered secure because of the difficulty to solve the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem. Pollard's rho method is regarded as the best method for attacking the logarithm problem to date, yet it is still not efficient enough to break an elliptic curve cryptosystem. READ MORE

  6. 5. A Performance Evaluation of Post-Quantum Cryptography in the Signal Protocol

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Informationskodning

    Author : Markus Alvila; [2019]
    Keywords : post-quantum; resistant; cryptography; commutative; supersingular; isogeny; Diffie-Hellman; CSIDH; Signal; protocol; X3DH; Double Ratchet; Curve25519; performance; evaluation; CPU; profiling; Android;

    Abstract : The Signal protocol can be considered state-of-the-art when it comes to secure messaging, but advances in quantum computing stress the importance of finding post-quantum resistant alternatives to its asymmetric cryptographic primitives. The aim is to determine whether existing post-quantum cryptography can be used as a drop-in replacement for the public-key cryptography currently used in the Signal protocol and what the performance trade-offs may be.
