Organizing Notes | Team Learning Cryptography Session 6: Basics of Cryptographic Mathematics - Finite Fields

1. Operations In simple terms, a group ring field is a collection with operations. Let’s first look at some content related to operations. An operation is actually a mapping from one set to another: We call an operation involving n operands an n-ary (target) operation; specifically, if n=2, it is called a binary operation. At … Read more

Understanding The Underlying Principles Of Cryptography In 3000 Words

1. Definition of Cryptography Before the late 20th century, cryptography was more of an art, primarily used for secret communication. At that time, there were no theories to rely on, nor any effective definitions to construct a good cipher. It wasn’t until the 1980s that the emergence of modern cryptography transformed the study of cryptography … Read more

Introduction to Cryptography and Encryption Algorithms

Introduction to Cryptography Cryptography is a young yet ancient discipline. It has been used to protect military and diplomatic communications for thousands of years. The earliest recorded communication cipher dates back to 400 BC. The ancient Greeks invented substitution ciphers. In 1881, the world’s first telephone secrecy patent emerged. The invention of the telegraph and … Read more
