Master in Mathematical Cryptography

Cryptography is a fast developing mathematical field due to its widespread use in information security. Research in this field revolves around mathematical ideas and topics such as number theory, geometric algebra, chaos theory and other related fields. Amongst the main research areas are development of efficient cryptographic algorithms, primarily testing, factorisation of large integers, lattice-based cryptography, filtering methods, elliptic curve cryptography, and discrete log problems . Eventual aims are the development, improvement and implementation of cryptographic protocols that can become standards for communications security.
