This course is an undergraduate introduction to cryptography, aiming to present the theoretical foundations of cryptosystems used in the real world. In this class, we will look "under the hood" about ...

The area of computational cryptography is dedicated to the development of effective methods in algorithmic number theory that improve implementation of cryptosystems or further their cryptanalysis.

In particular, McEliece cryptosystems come out looking like a good alternative to the current public-key infrastructure. Instead of relying on factoring large numbers, a McEliece system hides your ...

Cumming, who happens to be Cloudflare's CTO, cracked a 30-year-old encrypted file that had a role in rewriting South Africa’s history.

The paper talks about breaking RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) encryption, one of the oldest and most widely used public-key cryptosystems. Details about the latest research have been slow to emerge ...

Developed in 1994 by US mathematician Peter Shor, Shor’s algorithm is a quantum computer algorithm for calculating the prime factors of a number. While it may be easy to discern the prime ...
