'''Torus-based cryptography''' involves using [[algebraicAlgebraic torus|algebraic tori]] to construct a [[groupGroup (mathematics)|group]] for use in [[cipher]]s based on the [[discrete logarithm problem]]. This idea was first introduced by [[Alice Silverberg]] and [[Karl Rubin]] in [[2003]] in the form of a [[public key algorithm]] by the name of [[CEILIDH]]. It improves on conventional cryptosystems by representing some elements of large finite fields compactly and therefore transmitting fewer bits.
