About this journal Journal of Mathematical Cryptology is a fully peer-reviewed, open access, electronic journal that provides readers with free, instant, and permanent access to all content worldwide.Aims and ScopeJournal of Mathematical Cryptology is a forum for articles in the area of mathematical cryptology.Topics Boolean functionsElliptic curve cryptographyMathematical cryptologyInformation securityQuantum cryptologyAlgebraAlgebraic geometryCoding theoryCombinatorics and graph theoryNumber theoryProbability and stochastic processesWork linking math to cryptology Work in the mathematical foundations of cryptoTheoretical aspects of cryptologyMathematical foundations of cryptologyThe scope includes mathematical results of algorithmic or computational nature that are of interest to cryptology. While JMC does not cover information security as a whole, the submission of manuscripts on information security with a strong mathematical emphasis is explicitly encouraged.Journal of Mathematical Cryptology accepts submissions of research articles, reviews, and communications. Submission of a manuscript implies that the work described is not copyrighted, published, or submitted elsewhere, except in abstract form. The corresponding author should ensure that all authors approve the manuscript before submission.
