Welcome to the McCallum Undergraduate Research Page. Our work concerns the RSA encryption method, factorization attacks and prime numbers. For a more detailed explanation of our general plan of research, please see our group proposal.

   For more information on each individual's research project, please see the following links:

Jason Dyer: Exponent Attacks, Lattice Reduction Algorithm   (e-mail). Final Report. Appendix

Matt Green: Primality Testing, Pseudoprimes and Carmichael Numbers   (e-mail). Final Report

Ellen Preiss: Factorization Attacks (Pollard's rho and p-1 methods)   (e-mail). Final Report

Franco Cafiero: Factorization, Possible Factor Neighborhoods   (e-mail). Final Report and a paper on the Pollard rho method
