Math 187 HOT List

Here is a short list of interesting cryptography web links to learn more about cryptography. If you find other web pages that you like that you think should be added to this list please e-mail them to ma187s@insci14.ucsd.edu. The number of cryptography related sites seems to double every year, this list is only a starting point that hopefully contains a couple of sites with more complete lists of links.  Another problem we found is that these links disappear every so often.  If you notice some missing, please let us know.  This list is not actively maintained since our course happens once a year.  We will try to backup some of the pages that are not in stable locations.

Quantum computing

It is likely that quantum computing will be the next revolution in computer science and the effect on cryptography will be earth shattering due to Shor's algorithm.  This is a new field and a lot of ground needs to be broken before the first quantum computer can be built, but more and more people are begining to work on it.  Watch the internet as quantum computing companies spring up all over the world...
