| | ID-based cryptography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The first identity-based cryptosystem was a signature scheme developed by Adi Shamir in 1984, which allowed users to verify digital signatures using only public information such as the user's identity. | | | The first of these schemes was developed by Dan Boneh and Matthew K. Franklin (2001), and performs probabilistic encryption of arbitrary ciphertexts using an Elgamal-like approach. | | | Identity-based systems allow any party to generate a public key from a known identity value such as an ASCII string. |

| | PKWare Adds Encryption to Compression Software - Computerworld |
| | Encryption that's built in at the operating system level, which Microsoft includes with Windows, generally works well for protecting files on individual servers, Thompson said. | | | The new encryption functionality has been very easy to implement, he added. | | | But now, "there is significant interest in compression and encryption at the server level for batch file transfers," said David Thompson, an analyst at Meta Group Inc. in Stamford, Conn. |

| | Certificate-based encryption - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The best example of practical use of certificate-based encryption is Content Scrambling System (CSS), which is used to encode DVD movies in such a way as to make them playable only in a part of the world where they are sold. | | | However, the fact that the region decryption key is stored on the hardware level in the DVD players substantially weakens this form of protection. | | | The downside of this is the requirement for regular communication between users and the certificate authority, which means the certificate authority is more vulnerable to electronic attacks (such as denial-of-service attacks) and also that such attacks could effectively stop the system from working. |

| | The .zip Standard Splinters - PKWare, WinZip format changes jeopardize compatibility. |
| | You can decrypt and decompress such a file in one step using PentaZip, or in two steps by first using a program that supports PGP (plenty are available), and then decompressing it with any.zip program. | | | For instance, if you select PGP encryption in PentaZip, your file will have the double extension.zip.pgp, and Windows won't try to open it as a.zip file. | | | Although the feature was introduced in PKZip 5.0 for Windows nearly a year ago, it has not yet appeared in PKZip for other platforms--specifically mainframes--and PKWare doesn't consider it complete. |

| | .Zip File Format Splinters |
| | The problem stems from the two popular programs' implementations of a long-overdue new feature, AES encryption (the password protection built in to the previous versions of the.zip format is easily hacked). | | | (Competitors StuffIt and PentaZip put different extensions on files with secure encryption.) If you want to use the encryption in a new version of PKZip or WinZip, make sure that recipients of your files know--and that they have whichever.zip program you use. | | | The problem will surface only with encrypted files, but they will still bear the.zip extension, which may confuse people who can't open such files with their.zip utility. |
