- Russell Impagliazzo
Professor Impagliazzo is a mathematician who focuses on the foundations of cryptography, or using "hard problems" for security applications. Hard problems require a prohibitive amount of time or resources to solve. Complexity theory, the mathematical domain in which Impagliazzo works, aims at establishing how hard a problem really is. A grade school student would obtain 10 percent of 100 by multiplying 0.10 by 100 the long way, making 15 separate calculations.
