Quantum Computing is based on physical materials that deal with very low temperature close to absolute zero, today, in order to increase abilities of Quantum Computers and to make them more convenient, the most important question is to handle is temperature problem. Semiconducting materials are the best choices to solve low temperature problem by approaching … Continue reading Growing Semiconductor Technologies in Solid State Q.C.

Why there is such thing called Quantum Mechanics ? Since the classical Newtonian physics fails while considering behavior of a system; that is very small, that travels very fast, that subjects very strong gravity etc. in early 1900's German physicist Max Planck publishes his study "the effect of radiation on a blackbody substance" and introduced … Continue reading I.

After mentioned about Asymmetric Cryptography overview, with this article we are going to touch on D-H key exchange, at first, we are going to take a look at discrete logarithm. Discrete Logarithm We know that, for any numbers "a" & "b" and any function "y" such that y = a^(b) can be described as b … Continue reading IX. Diffie-Hellman(-Merkle) Key Exchange
Prime Factorization Consider prime numbers "p" and "q " such that, there exist a number "n", multiple of "p"and "q" (p x q = n). Now, let's consider very large prime numbers (e.g. 300 digits long ) "p" and "q" such that, there exist a very large number (e.g. 4000 digits long) "n",multiple of "p"and … Continue reading VIII.

Invention -Asymmetric Key Cryptography The main idea on the development of Asymmetric Key Cryptography, was to avoid two problems, key distribution and digital signatures. Although it was first discovered by M. J. Williamson who worked under GCHQ, his work was kept secret. Few years later, it was first published by W. Diffie and M. Hellman … Continue reading VII. Asymmetric Cryptography: Overview
Why there are Operation Modes for Block Ciphers ? Simply, operation modes are methods that allow the safe use of a block of passwords under a single key. They were created specifically for use in encryption and authentication. Although they are associated with symmetric cryptography, in theory, they can also be used in public key … Continue reading VI. Operation Modes For Block Ciphers
To use below python code, copy & paste to any text editor (e.g. Sublime Text) as a python file. Then, all you need to do is to run on your command line or terminal (Pyhton3 needs to be installed).

2-DES (Double) Double-DES has two different encryption phases with two different keys (K_1, K_2) such that: Ciphertext (Encryption): Enc (K2, Enc(K1, P)) Plaintext (Decryption): Dec(K1, Dec(K2, C)) Meet in the Middle Attack Meet-in-the-middle is a known plaintext attack, that targets block cipher cryptographic functions, relies on exponentially reducing the number of brute force permutations required to … Continue reading V. 2,3-DES & AES
Before getting started with Block Cipher, digital computer communications based on bits, where 1 byte equals 8 bits. For instance, the word cryptoquantus consist of 13 characters (byte), so it equals to 8x13 = 104 bits . ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is an encoding representing each typed character by a number, where … Continue reading IV. Block Cipher & DES
First Transposition Cipher in History It was firstly used by Greeks and Spartans for military secrecy, 15th Century B.C. as Scytale Cipher. A Scytale Cipher is simply a wooden stick around which a strip of leather is wrapped. Sender writes the message along the length of the stick and unwinds the strip, where letters are … Continue reading III. Transposition Cipher
