Introduction to Cryptography
• Cryptography is the practice and study of techniques for securing
communication and information.
• It involves creating codes and ciphers to protect data from
unauthorized access.
• The mathematical principles underlying cryptography are crucial for
ensuring security and privacy.

3. 2
Importance of Mathematics in Cryptography
• Mathematics provides the foundational theories and algorithms used
in cryptographic methods.
• Concepts such as number theory, algebra, and probability are
integral in developing secure systems.
• The effectiveness of cryptographic protocols often relies on complex
mathematical structures.

4. 3
Number Theory in Cryptography
• Number theory explores the properties and relationships of
numbers, particularly integers.
• It plays a vital role in algorithms like RSA, which relies on the
difficulty of factoring large prime numbers.
• The security of many cryptographic systems hinges on the
properties of prime numbers and modular arithmetic.

5. 4
Symmetric Key Cryptography
• Symmetric key cryptography uses the same key for both encryption
and decryption.
• Mathematical algorithms, such as the Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES), rely on transformations and permutations.
• The security of symmetric systems depends on the secrecy of the
key and the complexity of the algorithm.

6. 5
Asymmetric Key Cryptography
• Asymmetric cryptography uses a pair of keys: a public key for
encryption and a private key for decryption.
• Algorithms like RSA utilize mathematical concepts such as modular
exponentiation and prime factorization.
• The relationship between the keys is mathematically structured to
ensure security while allowing public access.

7. 6
Cryptographic Hash Functions
• Hash functions convert input data into a fixed-size string of
characters, which is typically a digest.
• They are designed to be one-way functions, making it
computationally infeasible to reverse the process.
• Mathematical properties like collision resistance and pre-image
resistance are crucial for their effectiveness.

8. 7
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)
• ECC is based on the mathematics of elliptic curves over finite fields.
• It offers similar security to other systems but with smaller key sizes,
making it efficient.
• The underlying mathematics involves complex algebraic structures
that provide strong encryption.

9. 8
Randomness and Security
• Randomness plays a crucial role in cryptographic algorithms,
particularly in key generation.
• Mathematical methods such as pseudorandom number generators
(PRNGs) are used to produce secure keys.
• The unpredictability of these numbers is vital for maintaining the
integrity of cryptographic systems.

10. 9
Cryptanalysis: The Mathematical Challenge
• Cryptanalysis is the study of breaking cryptographic codes and
algorithms.
• It employs mathematical techniques to analyze the strength and
vulnerabilities of cryptographic systems.
• Understanding the mathematics behind cryptography is essential for
developing effective cryptanalysis methods.
