Foundational Cryptography Research

Definition

Foundational cryptography research involves the scientific study and development of new cryptographic primitives, protocols, and theoretical frameworks. This area of inquiry explores the mathematical underpinnings of secure communication and computation, addressing challenges related to data privacy, authenticity, and integrity. Researchers work to establish the security properties of cryptographic schemes against various attacks. It forms the bedrock upon which all secure digital systems are built.
