Not How The Grinch Stole Christmas, But How Galois Saved Cybersecurity

So, for an electrical engineer, the most fundamental knowledge that every practicing engineer has is Ohm’s Law. But, what’s the most basic knowledge that a cryptographer should know? Well, I think it is the magic of Galois fields, and which has saved our cybersecurity world, and will scale into a future of lattice-based cryptography. These lattice methods are based on…
