Abstract
In our increasingly data-driven society, the ability to transmit secure messages is more essential than ever. This ability allows economies to thrive and protects both personal and national security. In order to achieve this security, cryptographers have developed methods to encrypt data. One of the most successful of these methods is to use a secure key to encrypt and decrypt the sensitive data. This method has been very successful but it is still possible for outside agents to obtain the secure key and thereby access sensitive information.
