Jackson Jost


I'm currently a graduate student in Applied Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University. My undergraduate degree was in Applied Mathematics and Neuroscience from Syracuse University.

I have a variety of interests, generally categorized into statistics, cybersecurity/cryptography, and imaging science/signal processing.

Additionally, I enjoy CTF competitions (primarily crypto) where I play for the Musketears (top 50 in the US). I also worked on team 42-b3yond-6ug under Prof. Yinzhi Cao in DARPA's AIxCC competition, which was awarded $2 million in 2024.

Feel free to check out my blog or film/video portfolio if you're interested!

EasySECp256k1

This project implements an elliptic curve field that closely resembles the secp256k1 Koblitz curve, known for its use in Bitcoin. It includes essential functionalities to operate over elliptic curve groups, such as point addition and multiplication, and offers visualization of the curve/field using Matplotlib.
