The Cryptographic Imagination
The Cryptographic Imagination
This chapter analyzes issues related to the ability of modern cryptography to provide mathematical certification of the effectiveness of cryptosystems. It suggests that the representational nature of models is the source of inescapable gaps between the mathematics of cryptography and their concrete realization in software and hardware artifacts. It also argues that the integration of human capabilities such as memory, perception, and cognition into cryptographic models may provide a potential avenue toward broader social acceptance of cryptographic design goals.
Keywords: modern cryptography, mathematical certification, cryptosystems, mathematics of cryptography, human capabilities, memory, perception, cognition, social acceptance, cryptographic design goals
