In this chapter we will look at choosing and optimizing cryptographic algorithms, particularly for resource-constrained systems, such as embedded systems. We will look at various strategies for ...

All of the above leads us back to consistent hashing and how it makes use of modulo mathematics as part of a larger algorithm intended to first avoid "hot spots" or heavy loads on origin servers and ...

OpenSSL is a powerful Secure Sockets Layer cryptographic library. Apache uses it for HTTPS encryption, and OpenSSH uses it for SSH encryption. But, you don't have to use it as a library. It's also a ...

Your hardware is ready. Now, let's load up some software and get cracking. In Part I of this series, I explained how password cracking works in general terms and ...
