Public Key Cryptography is a highly mathematical endeavor. <strong>RSA</strong> itself is based<br />

on the integer factorization problem, which has baffled the mathematicians for<br />

ages. Tounderstandtheintricatedetails<strong>of</strong><strong>RSA</strong>andlattice-basedresultsproposed<br />

in this thesis, one requires a strong foundation in Mathematics. We frequently use<br />

involved results <strong>of</strong> number theory, linear algebra and probability in this thesis, and<br />

expect the reader to possess a good grasp on these topics.<br />

Although we present a comprehensive overview <strong>of</strong> all necessary mathematical<br />

preliminaries in Chapter 2, a graduate level training in mathematics is recommended<br />

to read the material comfortably.
