Vinay Sridhar Iyengar is an American high school mathematics researcher and author who attends the Oregon Episcopal School in Portland, Oregon. He won the Best in Category Award in Mathematical Sciences at the 2013 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for his project "Efficient Characteristic 3 Galois Field Operations for Elliptic Curve Cryptographic Applications". In addition, he was named a 2013 Google Science Fair Global Finalist for the same project. His work may have improved the efficiency of polynomial arithmetic within Galois fields and has applications towards making elliptic curve cryptography potentially faster and safer.
