English

Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
  • Information Processing (Informatics)
CONT

All other things being equal, cryptographic strength is defined by the length of the cryptographic key(or "bit-length"), which establishes the number of possible permutations. With each bit added to the length of the key, the strength is doubled.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sécurité des TI
  • Traitement de l'information (Informatique)
CONT

Toutes choses étant égales, la solidité du cryptogramme est proportionnelle à la longueur de la clé de chiffrement (ou la longueur en bits), qui détermine le nombre de permutations possibles. La solidité du cryptogramme double chaque fois que l'on ajoute un bit à la longueur de la clé.

DEF

A cryptographic key that can be generated by the information system user himself.

CONT

The PQR 512 RSA chip is a full CMOS hardware implementation primarily intended to support fast execution of the RSA(Rivest, Shamir and Adleman) public key cryptographic algorithm. The PQR 512 chip is designed to efficiently perform calculation in large "finite fields". Features : Low cost RSA processor, Small Size(QFP 100 package). Designed to allow easy integration in microprocessor based systems. Programmable key, modules and exponent length up to 513 bit. PQR 512 chips can be combined to support key lengths up to 1033 bit.
