Mathematicians and Cryptographers

Neal Koblitz published paper “The Uneasy Relationship Between Mathematics and Cryptography” at Notices of the American Mathematical Society. This article has been commented on Bruce Schneier’s blog on security and rebuttals came from Oded Goldreich, Hugo Krawczyk, Jonathan Katz, Luca Trevisan, and Boaz Barak. This is long reading, if you are going to read all mentioned articles and reactions, but very interesting for everyone who want to know more about concepts and misconceptions of cryptography and mathematic with different points of view.
