Cryptography
Calculating Pi
Investigates and implements algorithms which may yield to distributed computation of the mathematical constant Pi.
distributed.net
A distributed computing project currently trying to take the RSA challenge of RC5-64, and also working on OGR-24 and 25 (Optimal Golomb Rulers). Previous projects included CSC and …
Ellipsa - Elliptic Curve Primality Proving
Primo, a primality proving program based on the ECPP algorithm. With Primo one can check crypto-primes and prove whether or not they are actually prime.
