Eric Christopher Seidel

These are some of the many academic projects which I have accomplished during my undergraduate time at Lawrence University, Appleton Wisconsin. This is ONLY a list of those projects related to school and school work. I would also encourage you to view a complete list of my project in my Developement section. I expect to recieve my B.A. in Mathematics from Lawrence June, 16th 2003.

Current Work:

I am currently spending the majority of my academic time working on my honors thesis which I plan to deliver in May and defend in June. My project deals with ways of applying parallelism to Cryptography. I given an assesment of the various algorithms out there and possibility of each for speed gaine from the methods I describe. I also give an example of parallelism with my own AltiVec enabled version of Bitslice DES.
