In Code - by Sarah Flannery

Book Review, © Copyright 2002, Jim Loy

  This is the interesting story of a young, Irish woman and her science 
fair project. Her project was an attempt to show that the Cayley-Purser 
algorithm (as she named it), of number theory, could be adapted as a 
great improvement to public key cryptography. The algorithm was much 
faster than previous methods. If this were a fairy story, Miss Flannery 
would have won a Nobel Prize or something like it, and science would 
have been advanced greatly. Unfortunately, the algorithm is flawed from 
a cryptologic perspective; it can be attacked, and its hidden prime 
number keys can be deduced. As a public key cryptographic method, it is 
much less secure than previous methods. This attack upon the algorithm 
is an interesting part of the story. And her project rightly won 
national and international awards. The book also gives an interesting 
introduction to the related basics of number theory and public key 
cryptography.
