Math 1111: Cryptography

The Journal of Theoretical Physics and Cryptography is devoted to the rapid publication of fundamental research papers on all fields of theoretical physics and cryptography. All contributions shall be rigorously refereed and selecting on the basis of quality and originality of the work as well as the breadth of interest to readers.

The International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) is a non-profit scientific organization whose purpose is to further research in cryptology and related fields. Cryptology is the science and practice of designing computation and communication systems which are secure in the presence of adversaries.

This is a blog by Bruce Schneier who writes about security in general, under which cryptography falls as a subject.

This is an interesting cryptography blog by Matthew Green, a cryptographer and professor at Johns Hopkins University.

Here's a recent piece by security expert Bruce Schneier on quantum computing, which is different than quantum cryptography. (I conflated the two during class today.) Quantum computing is very fast computing that could be used to quickly break modern encryption schemes. Quantum cryptography involves sending messages that can't be read, since "looking" at them changes the message. Schneier offers some conjectures about where the NSA is with regard to both technologies.
