The '''Cayley–Purser algorithm''' was a [[public-key cryptography]] [[algorithm]] published in early 1999 by 16-year-old [[Ireland|Irishwoman]] [[Sarah Flannery]], based on an unpublished work by [[Michael Purser]], founder of [[Baltimore Technologies]], a [[Dublin]] data security company. Flannery named it for [[mathematician]] [[Arthur Cayley]]. It has since been found to be flawed as a public-key algorithm, but was the subject of considerable media attention.
