An Extension of Weiner's Attack on RSA Encryption

This year's "BT Young Scientist Award for
Mathematics" was awarded to a 19 year old in the field
of cryptography. The project, entitled 'An Extension of
Weiner's Attack on RSA Encryption' used complex mathematics
to challenge the security of keys associated with
encryption. Using cutting edge mathematical research, Abdul
succeeded in decreasing the security of safe keys, used to
decode mathematical messages. Abdul's discoveries have many
practical applications in the areas of IT and internet
safety.
