A gentle introduction to cryptographic pairings, with accompanying Magma scripts.
The isogeny tutorial is a historical introduction to SIDH, which is no longer secure.
I teach algorithms, cryptography and cybersecurity, connecting mathematical ideas with the systems people use every day.
Cryptography
Unit Coordinator and Lecturer. Intuition before mathematics; examples before definitions.
Algorithms and Complexity
