== History ==
During a work-experience placement with [[Baltimore Technologies]], Flannery was shown an unpublished paper by [[Michael Purser]] which outlined a new [[public-key]] cryptographic scheme using [[non-commutative]] multiplication. She was asked to write an implementation of this scheme in [[Mathematica]].
Before this placement, Flannery had attended the 1998 [[Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition|ESAT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition]] with a project describing already existing crytographic techniques from [[Caesar cipher]] to [[RSA (algorithm)|RSA]]. This had won her the Intel Student Award which included the opportunity to compete in the 1998 [[Intel International Science and Engineering Fair]] in the United States. Feeling that she needed some original work to add to her exhibition project, Flannery asked Michael Purser for permission to include work based on his cryptographic scheme.
