Mathematical Security: From Number Theory to Hacking and Pentesting
When we talk about cybersecurity, we immediately think of firewalls, malware, and zero-day exploits. But there’s a deeper level, unseen and unsurpassed: the laws of mathematics. Because while software can be hacked, protocols can be bypassed, configurations can be messed up, mathematics cannot be corrupted. And it is precisely on this pillar that modern cybersecurity is based. Because safety is (also) mathematics Every digital defense technology works not because “someone programmed it well,” but because it exploits mathematical problems that have no efficient solution. Here are some concrete examples: RSA: It is based on the difficulty of factoring numbers of hundreds of
