Description of the research topic:

The widely used algorithms of the public key cryptography are based on the hardness of factorization of large integers and computation of discrete logarithm. In 1994 P. Shor proved that these problems can be solved by quantum algorithms in polynomial time. Since then a lot of research is done to invent cryptographic primitives which are resistant against quantum computers. A possible direction is the development of algorithms, which are based on the hardness of solution of diophantine equations.
