Abstract

The science of cryptography makes use of knowledge from several areas of mathematics including number theory, algebraic and combinatorial structures, probability, linear algebra, information theory and others. In this article we give a brief and selected review of some combinatorial structures and highlight their applications in some cryptograhic schemes. Among these structures are the orthogonal arrays, which were introduced by Prof C. R. Rao more than seventy years ago for applications in statistics. Their use in this new field of cryptography is yet another example of the versatility and power of these arrays.
