The Cayler-Purser algorithm should have been some 22 times faster than the [[RSA]] process, because it uses a simpler [[mathematical function]]. For her work, Flannery received first prize in an Irish competition for young scientists. She subsequently discovered an attack on her algorithm, but she analyzed it and included it as an appendix in later competitions, including a Europe-wide competition in which she won a major award.
