Neal Koblitz is a mathematician who, starting in the 1980s, became fascinated by mathematical questions in cryptography. In his article "The Uneasy Relationship Between Mathematics and Cryptography," ...

It all begins with mathematics really - the one true scientific language, so they say. Cryptography has been around as early as 4000 years ago, doing what it still does today - ensuring that secrets ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Math PhD student Daniel Cabarcas studies polynomials to help fight the algebraic attacks that threaten computer security. Data security. It’s a chief concern in a society that ...

Newly written code, called the Generalized Knapsack Code, could thwart hackers armed with next generation quantum computers. The encryption codes that safeguard internet data today won't be secure ...

Mathematicians are often stereotyped as strictly logical, almost robotic, allowing no time for emotions to affect their work. For Daniel Larsen, this has never been true — in fact, it’s been the ...

"Large bureaucracies, with the power that the computer gives them, become more powerful," said New York Times reporter David Burnham in a 1983 C-Span interview about his book The Rise of the Computer ...

Quantum cryptography is back in the news, and the basic idea is still unbelievably cool, in theory, and nearly useless in real life. The idea behind quantum crypto is that two people communicating ...

Cryptography is just about as old as written communication itself, and mathematics has long supplied methods for the cryptographic toolbox. Starting in the 1970s, increasingly sophisticated ...
