M. Jason Hinek

Dr. M. Jason Hinek is an Associate Professor in the Teaching Stream and Associate Director of Recruitment/Outreach at Carleton University's School of Computer Science. He holds a PhD from the University of Waterloo (2007). His research focuses on cryptology, computer security, and computer science education, with earlier work in wood polymer studies via NMR analysis. He teaches courses such as Introduction to Computer Science, Discrete Structures, and Applied Cryptography.

Dr. Hinek’s scholarly work emphasizes RSA cryptosystem variants, cryptanalysis techniques, and cryptographic protocol security. His publications explore vulnerabilities in multi-prime RSA, attribute-based encryption, and modular arithmetic optimizations. He has contributed to understanding key exposure attacks, encryption efficiency trade-offs, and lattice-based cryptographic attacks.

His teaching responsibilities include foundational computer science courses at both undergraduate levels. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in his profile. His research spans theoretical cryptography with practical applications in security systems.
