Welcome to Cryptology


Hello Everyone,

I’m Usha Narra and welcome to my blog. Currently I’m a graduate student at San Jose State University. One of my college courses inspired me to write this blog. You might be wondering which course this is? Here’s a hint: It is the science of making and breaking “secret codes.” Did you just ask Cryptology/Cryptography’? You got it! In the fascinating world of the Internet, transmitting and sharing information is astounding. However the problem we are facing is the security of data and its transmission. Currently Cryptograph is a vital solution.

In our day-to-day life computer science is ubiquitous, from coffee machines to space shuttles. Ideas which were once thought as fantasy are now reality. A few lines of well-written code (well, not exactly a “few lines”) can do anything from making a great cup of coffee to keeping a space shuttle from exploding in space. Stay tuned, as my next posts will explore how computer science/programs direct the future of Cryptology and what more can be achieved in the field.

This is my first blog. And although I am nervous, I’m very excited to share my knowledge with you and enhance my knowledge from your thoughts and comments. So, please don’t hesitate to post your comments.

Happy Coding,
Usha

  2. I really enjoyed reading your blog. It's really interesting that you enjoy cryptology as it is a very difficult branch of computer science. XOR anyone? It is totally true that the necessity and complexity of cryptology will be ever rising in the future of the technology. I am really excited to read your future posts and see what else you have to say about cryptology. You have a very nicely written blog and I hope to see more soon!
