♫ Somewhere Over The Rainbow ♫ … There’s A Hard Problem
An introduction to multivariate cryptography
My routine for solving a research problem is to read up on it in the evening, and find key research papers and presentations, and get up between 5 and 6 am, and — often — I have the solution. Here’s my 6 am doodles from this morning on multivariate cryptography:
As a tip for PhD students, I find that research presentations from researchers who really know there topic is the best place to find a distilled version of methods.
So, there’s a point in every academic researcher’s career, when they realise that - for the more challenge areas of research — Wikipedia articles are basically not written by an expert, and are often just cribbed almost word for word from the research papers. I have found this many times, but rediscovered it when researching multivariate cryptography for a simple example [here]:
