Central to many advanced cryptographic primitives are pairing algorithms, which enable functionalities such as identity‐based encryption, short signatures, and secure key exchange.

Truly random numbers, Haahr wrote -- not those generated by an algorithm -- are crucial not only for encryption and data security, but also for lotteries and gambling.
