Welcome to my blog where I share insights on cryptography, cybersecurity, and my journey through PhD research.
Building on probability and secrecy, this week I explore advanced cryptographic primitives: Format-Preserving Encryption, Fully Homomorphic Encryption, Searchable Encryption, and Tweakable Encryption. I also examine how weak ciphers and wrong models undermine security.
Read more →My third week dives into probability, conditional distributions, and formal definitions of secrecy. I work through shift cipher examples, Bayes’ Theorem, and the rigorous proof that the One-Time Pad achieves perfect secrecy.
Read more →My second week's dive into cryptography, exploring the transition from classical ciphers to modern security. This post unpacks Kerckhoffs's Principle, attack models, and why mathematical rigor is essential.
