Abstract
This chapter recounts the development of public-key cryptographic engineering at Cinvestav between 2002 and 2022.
It covers computer arithmetic, elliptic-curve cryptography, pairing-based cryptography, discrete-logarithm computations, real-world cryptographic systems, and post-quantum cryptography. It also describes the graduate training, collaborations, and regional initiatives that helped build a sustained cryptology research school.
