Krypto-Wunderkind findet Hyper-Algorithmus
Es genügt nicht, dass eine Sechzehnjährige einen
allternativen Algorithmus zu RSA gefunden hat, nein, er
muss auch noch 30 mal schneller als RSA in der Anwendung
sein.
Nicht ganz so übertrieben klingt es, wenn man erfährt, dass
a) der stolze Herr Vater Professor der Mathematik ist und
b) der Source Code weniger patentiert als vielmehr publiziert
werden soll.

Sarah Flannery used the science of cryptography to design a
code that is ten times faster than the one currently used to
convert confidential information so that it can be sent via the
Internet and e-mail. She has been inundated with offers of
jobs and scholarships from international computer companies
and universities.
Miss Flannery, 16, from Blarney, Co Cork, used matrices to
formulate an alternative to RSA, the current data protection
code, devised by three students at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology in 1977. The result is an algorithm, a
mathematical blueprint, that is far faster than the RSA and
equally secure.
Miss Flannery, whose father, David, lectures in mathematics
at Cork Institute of Technology, devised her code to enter the
Irish Young Scientists and Technology Exhibition. She won
at the weekend and left the judges unable fully to
comprehend her project.
...
The oldest of five children, she earned eight As in her junior
certificate, the Irish equivalent of GCSEs, with extra tuition
from her father.
Miss Flannery is now... considering publishing her findings
rather than patenting as she does not want people to pay for
her discovery.
