Funded Activity Summary

Number Theoretic Methods in Cryptography. It is well known that Number Theory, besides its intrinsic beauty, provides many powerful tools for modern Cryptography. The aim of the project is to formulate and solve new and important mathematical problems, which lie in the background of modern cryptography. They are also of independent value for pure mathematics because they very often stimulate new approaches to and new surprising points of view on classical results and methods. The main outcome will be advancing our theoretical knowledge about several major cryptosystems. The project will extend and enrich the area of applications of mathematics to cryptography and related areas.
