Note¶
I brought this article in because I thought it related to a couple thoughts that I have been having. Firstly and foremost, data integrity. How do we ensure that the data we are reading is what we think we are reading? This was similar to book consistency.
Secondly, I thought about how technologies becoming obsolete is a trend that is happening often in recent societies. However, this is not limited to physical technologies. Digital technologies and methods are also being quickly taken over by a 'better version'.
Lastly, I would like to tie my memex together with aspects of Computer Science, because that is what I am interested in.

Summary & Key Take Aways¶
This article details the history and impacts that Diffie and Hellmans discovery of public key cryptography had on the development of secure communication. van Oorschot details many examples of ideas that Diffie and Hellman had prior to their discovery, as well as the technologies that were able to be created after the discovery. Examples of these technologies include e-commerce, specifically the ability to send your credit card info securely over the internet, as well as simple tasks such as secure messaging channels, like WhatsApp.

[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight The invention of public key cryptography had little noticeable impact on society over 19761985, the first decade after its discovery.
Page 8 [[2023-01-19#10:30 am]]
[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight What did draw interest in this second decade was the maturation of smart cards or chip cards—integrated circuits with non-volatile storage (e.g., for cryptographic keys), but also processing capabilities
Page 9 [[2023-01-19#10:35 am]]
[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight Smart cards employing public key algorithms emerged later in the form of chip-and-PIN payment cards

[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight During this second decade (1986-1995), a new focus for widescale deployment of public key cryptography was secure email.

[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight Unsurprisingly, one culprit is key management, in this case, how to bridge trust in public keys not only across a few communities, but across essentially all email users in the world (as global interoperability is the default expectation for email).

[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight This is a grand success of public key cryptography in the second decade of the 21st century.
public key cryptography is not that widely used? Still has ways to go? Not sure.

[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight In 1995, 20 years after the discovery of public key cryptography, its impact on society remained relatively small, or at least largely unnoticed.

[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight Navigator 1.1. SSL and its successor, the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol [72], are recognized as the key technologies that enabled the rise of e-commerce.

[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight This apparently triggered changes by browser providers, e.g., making ECDHE a default for TLS in browser sessions.
Page 10 [[2023-01-19#10:43 am]]
[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight This accommodation plan has turned out to be wildly successful [2, 39], and TLS is now used as a general utility for secure data transfer by a wide variety of applications such as web- and video-conferencing, office productivity software, instant messaging, and applications connecting to cloud storage

[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight bearing in mind that manual triggering of upgrades by many users is slow to occur, if at all.

[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight A collection of FIDO specifications includes those governing use of such technology to either augment or entirely avoid use of passwords.16

[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight How can one protect not only the plaintext content of a message, but also hide related metadata such as the identities of the participants in a communication, and the time of the communication?
Page 13 [[2023-01-19#11:07 am]]
[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight The turning point for e-commerce was the emergence, and wide adoption, of TLS (above)

[!quote|#ffd400] Highlight As Table 1 shows, today’s largest US public companies are precisely those that dominate e-commerce and the digital economy.20
