  2. Hill cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_cipher

    Hill's cipher machine, from figure 4 of the patent. In classical cryptography, the Hill cipher is a polygraphic substitution cipher based on linear algebra.Invented by Lester S. Hill in 1929, it was the first polygraphic cipher in which it was practical (though barely) to operate on more than three symbols at once.

  3. Polygraphic substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygraphic_substitution

    This was followed up over the next fifty years with the closely related four-square and two-square ciphers, which are slightly more cumbersome but offer slightly better security. [1] In 1929, Lester S. Hill developed the Hill cipher, which uses matrix algebra to encrypt blocks of any desired length. However, encryption is very difficult to ...

  4. List of unsolved problems in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

  5. Lester S. Hill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_S._Hill

    Lester S. Hill (1891–1961) was an American mathematician and educator who was interested in applications of mathematics to communications.He received a bachelor's degree (1911) and a master's degree (1913) from Columbia College and a Ph.D. from Yale University (1926).

  6. Unicity distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicity_distance

    In cryptography, unicity distance is the length of an original ciphertext needed to break the cipher by reducing the number of possible spurious keys to zero in a brute force attack. That is, after trying every possible key , there should be just one decipherment that makes sense, i.e. expected amount of ciphertext needed to determine the key ...

  7. Three utilities problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_utilities_problem

    It is the smallest example of a nonplanar Laman graph. [23] Despite being a minimally rigid graph, it has non-rigid embeddings with special placements for its vertices. [ 9 ] [ 24 ] For general-position embeddings, a polynomial equation describing all possible placements with the same edge lengths has degree 16, meaning that in general there ...

  8. Ring learning with errors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_learning_with_errors

    An important feature of basing cryptography on the ring learning with errors problem is the fact that the solution to the RLWE problem can be used to solve a version of the shortest vector problem (SVP) in a lattice (a polynomial-time reduction from this SVP problem to the RLWE problem has been presented [1]).

  9. Short integer solution problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_integer_solution_problem

    The Short Integer Solution (SIS) problem is an average case problem that is used in lattice-based cryptography constructions. Lattice-based cryptography began in 1996 from a seminal work by Ajtai [ 1 ] who presented a family of one-way functions based on the SIS problem.
