Here's an interesting "math justifying paper" following a lecture at Clay Mathematics Institute given by a Fields' medalist, Timothy Gowers.
Please consider enrolling for the
Mathematics of Secure Communication certificate program:
The Mathematics of Secure
Communication certificate program comprises
four courses. Upon successful completion of the coursework, students will be
awarded a certificate of accomplishment in keeping with standard practices of
the Naval Postgraduate School. The purpose for its development is to provide
Mathematics education to Naval officers and DoD civilians in the broad area of
Cryptography and secure communications. As such it satisfies a
Knowledge, Skills, Abilities (KSA) requirement in the Applied Technology
field of Fundamentals of cryptology and cryptanalysis for Professional
Military Education.

If you're a Math Major (or thinking of becoming one) and you want to do some serious mathematics, please see me: I'm in search for partners in research all the time. I have a variety of interests in Discrete Math, Combinatorics, Number Theory, Cryptography, Algebra. If you solve a hard problem it might find its way into a major mathematical research journal.
