> Professor and Former Head, Department of Computer Science.

>ABSTRACT: This is a general talk discussing the RSA algorithm and attacks
>against its keys. We show that a known test, which has not been noticed,
>means that about one quarter of the keys currently in use are vulnerable
>to attack.
>
>BIOGRAPHY: Jennifer Seberry is known for her work in Discrete Mathematics,
>both through her publications and her supervision of students, especially
>for new discoveries on Hadamard Matrices and Statistical Designs. In 1970
>she co-founded the series of conferences known as the xxth Australian
>Conference on Combinatorial Mathematics and Combinatorial Computing.
>She is also noted for her contributions to electronic security and privacy.
>In 1987 at University College, ADFA, she founded the Centre for Computer
>and Communications Security Research to be a resevoir of expertise for the
>Australian community.
>Her studies of the application of discrete mathematics and combinatorial
>computing via bent functions, S-box design, has led to the design of secure
>cryptoalgorithms and strong hashing algorithms for secure and reliable
>information transfer in networks and telecommunications.
>In 1990 she founded the AUSCRYPT/ASIACRYPT series of International
>Cryptologic Conferences in the Asia/Oceania area.
