Breaking The Code
The RSA public key code [1, Chapter 12] is the most widely used encryption technique in modern communication networks, such as the Internet. Its security relies on the fact that no known (classical) computer program can efficiently factor large numbers n, which are the product of two (unknown) primes, p1 and p2. Quantum computers, which currently exist only as mathematical models and have not y...
متن کاملBiological Code Breaking
The new movie The Imitation Game (to be released after this article goes to press), which recounts the Nazi code-breaking triumph of Alan Turing, appears unlikely to devote much screen time to the mathematician’s foundational contributions to biology. For cinematic reasons this is perhaps understandable, yet the occasion nevertheless provides a fitting opportunity to reflect on his seminal work...
متن کاملBiological code breaking in the 21st century
Just as early molecular biologists made the conceptual leap from the unique structure of DNA—with its precise sequence of nucleotides and complementary strands—to a theoretical and empirical solution to the genetic coding problem, four decades later a new generation of biologists is tackling a similar scientific challenge, this time of even greater complexity. How do DNA sequences specify the c...
متن کاملFrom quantum code-making to quantum code-breaking
1 What is wrong with classical cryptography ? Human desire to communicate secretly is at least as old as writing itself and goes back to the beginnings of our civilisation. Methods of secret communication were developed by many ancient societies, including those of Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and China, but details regarding the origins of cryptology remain unknown (Kahn 1967). We know that it w...
متن کاملBreaking the Code of Amyloid-β Oligomers
Departing from the original postulates that defined various neurodegenerative disorders, accumulating evidence supports a major role for soluble forms of amyloid proteins as initiator toxins in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, frontotemporal dementias, and prion diseases. Soluble multimeric assemblies of amyloid- β , tau, α -synuclein, and the prion protein are generally englobed under...
