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 ...

The information security situation is constantly changing due to the rise of quantum computing technologies, which can swiftly decrypt modern encryption techniques. However, a promising US government ...

"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 ...

Recently, I co-authored and published a math paper that solved a 15-year-old mystery. But, unlike a book or a gadget, the work cannot be copyrighted or bought and sold. In fact, my co-author and I ...

In some recent posts, we have touched on the subject of cryptography; in particular the inclusion of cryptographic engines in SoC (System on Chip) designs for smart metering. (See: SoC Is Hot for ...
