Post-quantum cryptography
Lattices, LWE-style assumptions, hash-based signatures, and security after quantum attacks.
Stony Brook University · Pure & Applied Mathematics
Mathematics for cryptography.
I’m Asim Yel, an undergraduate preparing for research in post-quantum cryptography, number theory, and the mathematics of secure systems.
Research interests
Where I want to contribute.
Number theory
Congruences, finite fields, modular arithmetic, and algebraic structure.
Code + proof
Readable experiments that test mathematical intuition.
Learn Math with Asim
Undergraduate math explanations in calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra.
Visit YouTube channelModern public-key systems such as RSA rely on the practical difficulty of factoring large composite integers into their prime factors. These toy examples show the structure; real cryptographic moduli are vastly larger, which is why efficient factoring algorithms—and quantum threats to them—matter.
