How Poles created the new Enigma

29.12.2010 WAT Warsaw

Prof. Jerzy Gawiniecki, the Military University of Technology

From the press: Undecipherable coding system created by the Polish scientists - "Rzeczpospolita" daily found out

It is a real breakthrough in cyber security, accomplished by an oustanding group of Polish cryptologist and mathematicians, coordinated by prof. Jerzy Gawinecki, director of the Institute of Mathematics and Cryptology of the Military University of Technology. - Our appliance enables successful ciphering of data transmitted computer to computer  or phone to phone - professor explains.

- Even if we connected all computers into a network and made these work for as long as the universe exists, it would still be impossible to break the code - he assures. Professor reveals that its success was possible thanks to innovative solutions from the range of elliptical curve cryptography. Research and development work on the system lasted for many years in the dungeons of the Military University of Technology (WAT in Warsaw), where only a few scientist have access and only those with security certificates.

Experts quoted by the newspaper (Rzeczpospolita), highly evaluate the system as efficient, brisk, effective and fully controlled by the State. They claim it is an extraordinary achievement in terms of national security.
