SANDstorm, Elliptic Curves, and a Bit of Fun
I’ll begin by describing SANDstorm, the Sandia entry in the NIST Hash Function competition. Next, I borrow an idea of Peter Montgomery’s to speed up elliptic curve calculations (Affine Strikes Back!). Finally, I’ll offer a frisson of lighter math fare.
Speaker Details
Rich Schroeppel works as a crypto-mathematician at Sandia National Laboratories, and moderates the Math-Fun email list. He works with algorithms, developing an early factoring method, and the Hasty Pudding Cipher. He’s a co-inventor of point-halving for elliptic curves.
