Kort abstract

Har skrevet dette indtil videre i min SRP. Det er ikke altomfattende, men ville gerne høre lidt kritik på min abstract-skrivning.

This research paper describes the Caesar and Vigenére cryptosystems briefly from a mathematical security perspective, and gives a detailed mathematical description of the RSA-system, its components and some elementary principles of number theory. This paper also provides a short summary of cryptography throughout history as well as analyzing and discussing the outcome of the Allies deciphering the German Enigma during World War II.

The mathematical analysis of the Caesar and Vigenére cryptosystems led to the conclusion that neither of the systems can be considered secure among the cryptosystems that exist today, but they did prove useful in their respective era because of the lack of decryption methods and their ease of access.
