for example, i know a lot of crypto involves abstract algebra. would a math phd program with a focus in abstract algebra be the right type of program to apply for?

more at math programs than cs programs. is that right?

also generally, what should i look for in a math (or cs) program if what i want to study is cryptography? obviously if cryptography is actually listed as a focus, that's great, but if not, what would tell me if the school/program might be a good or bad option? any advice at all would be greatly appreciated!

specific school/program recs are also appreciated!

sorry for my ignorance. i've been trying to look this stuff up, but i get overwhelmed and frustrated by the process.

i'm working on applying to phd programs, and i want to study cryptography. specifically, i'm really interested in the math behind the cryptography, and less interested in implementing it or anything like that.

i'm guessing i should be looking into more theoretical cryptography rather than practical, and looking

you don't have to pay for it, but you do have to climb up on top of the roof, which definitely presents a challenge for some people.
