  18. CMS / EPSRC – Steve Babbage Theory – and lack of theory Block ciphers Linear cryptanalysis Differential cryptanalysis Hash functions ??? • Public key algorithms • Factoring • Discrete logarithm • Elliptic curve • Others • Symmetric ciphers • Algebraic cryptanalysis • Gröbner bases • Quantum computers • What can they do? • What can't they do? Lots of insight still needed
