From Caesar ciphers to AES and RSA, Practical Microcontroller Cryptography shows how cryptography actually runs on ...

Programmers are human, but mathematics is immortal. By making programming more mathematical, a community of computer scientists is hoping to eliminate the coding bugs that can open doors to hackers, ...

Two University of Illinois at Chicago math professors have just embarked on a not-so-secret mission: write a textbook that teaches cryptography and coding theory to middle-school students in a way ...

Coding theory and cryptography are interwoven fields that lie at the heart of secure communication and reliable data storage. The discipline of coding theory focuses on the design and analysis of ...

In the context of cryptography, a public key is an alphanumeric string that serves as an essential component of asymmetric encryption algorithms. It is typically derived from a private key, which must ...

In 1994, the computer scientist Peter Shor discovered that if quantum computers were ever invented, they would decimate much of the infrastructure used to protect information shared online. That ...
