About the Center

Cryptography's roots reach deep into our history. As soon as a king wanted to send written secret instructions to his generals, as soon as a craftsman wanted to write down a trade secret the need for cryptography appeared - the discipline that by today's definition enables two parties to communicate over an insecure channel, without the adversary with the access to this channel being able to recover the message or its parts. Almost everyone has heard of Julius Ceaser's simple shift cipher, but the first uses of cryptography can be traced to well over 1000 years before his time. With the progress of encryption, the science of breaking the ciphers and revealing the original message, cryptanalysis, was also being developed. Together, cryptography and cryptanalysis form the field of cryptology, which has never in human history held a more important role in society at large than today.

At the Centre of Cryptography, we are a group of mathematicians who study, develop, and occasionally break down the primitives that make up modern cryptographic systems. The main areas of research are the design and analysis of cryptographic S-boxes, bent functions, linear codes, cryptanalysis of stream and block ciphers, and post-quantum cryptography.
