Crypto algorithms in use

The following algorithms are the pillars of the current Clipperz password manager and are included in our Javascript Crypto Library.

SRP - Secure Remote Password

A protocol that provides a better way to perform password-based authentications. It is believed that SRP achieves the theoretical limit of security that can be offered by a purely password-based protocol. more …

AES-256

The AES algorithm, also known as Rijndael, is a block cipher adopted as an encryption standard by the US government. AES was announced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2001. more …

Double SHA-256

A member of the unbroken family of cryptographic hash functions developed by NSA and standardized by NIST. SHA-256 can process a message to produce a condensed representation called a message digest. more …

Fortuna

High quality random bits are crucial to strong crypto systems. Fortuna is a novel but well analyzed pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) recently devised by security guru Bruce Schneier. more …

Crypto algorithms under development

ECC - Elliptic Curve Cryptography

A modern and more efficient approach to public key cryptography based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. more …

SSSS - Shamir Secret Sharing Scheme

A secure method to share a secret among more participants, each of which is allocated a share of the secret. The secret can only be reconstructed when the shares are combined together. more …
