Research Interests

Cryptographic engineering, algorithms and architectures for computer arithmetic and finite fields, parallel algebraic and numerical computation, and network security.

Security and Cryptography

Design and implementation of public-key cryptosystems, digital signatures, message digest functions, secret-key cryptographic algorithms, interactive computation protocols, and secure multiparty computations. Optimization and performance evaluation of cryptographic libraries. Applications of cryptography in communication, computation, software distribution, and electronic commerce.

Information Security Laboratory

Research activities in security and cryptography are performed within the Information Security Laboratory (ISL) which is an organization of faculty and graduate student efforts among the Electrical & Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Mathematics departments at Oregon State University. Dr. Çetin K. Koç is the founder and director of the ISL.

Computer Arithmetic and Finite Fields

Design and implementation of fast algorithms and hardware structures for modular arithmetic and Galois field operations. Algorithms for multiplication, division, inverse, exponentiation, greatest common divisor, Chinese remaindering, primality testing and factoring, finite field, and elliptic curve point operations.

High-Speed Computing

High-speed and parallel computation of algebraic and arithmetic functions. Algorithms and fast hardware architectures for algebraic, arithmetic, and symbolic computation.
