Strong security solutions for low-resource devices - The Algebraic Eraser
Louis M. Parks · 2009
The world relies on cryptography protocols that are often over twenty years old and with the increase in generally available computing power it is becoming harder and harder to maintain a secure environment. This problem is further compounded with the introduction of smaller computing platforms that simply cannot run today's security offerings. We especially see this issue with resource constrained or performance sensitive environments like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). SecureRF Corporation has developed the world's first linear-based security methods which work within the space and time constraints of a low resource computing environment like RFID. Our Algebraic Erasertrade algorithm, which is thousands of times more efficient than other asymmetric protocols, supports a wide range of cryptographic functions.
