Earning his master's in Applied Mathematics from NPS' Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, he's ready to use his newly-honed skills in both mathematics and operations research in his next assignment. Coast Guard Academy in 2011 with a Bachelor of Science in Operations Research. Sharpe is a native of San Jose, Calif., just 65-miles from NPS. His tests even passed stringent randomness tests required by the National Institute of Standards and Technology for pseudorandom numbers.
Sharpe's use of linear feedback shift registers and two specially-designed combiners provided exceedingly robust randomness for secure communications output. "Cryptography forms the backbone of modern secure communications … Each method of encryption and decryption has its advantages and disadvantages if communicating parties require speed of encryption more than incredibly robust security," explained Sharpe. Sharpe is recognized for his thesis work in "Applications in Probabilistic Combiners," which investigates the modification of encryption and decryption of data streams that result in output strings with a drastic increase in complexity. "I'm not only honored but surprised that out of all the other Navy and Marine Corps students competing for this prestigious award, I was selected by Monterey's Navy League Council," said Sharpe, who was joined by his wife Alison and baby daughter Joanne in the audience. Recognized with the quarter's top honor, Sharpe is one of 24 award recipients who distinguished themselves in their academic careers at NPS, recognized during an afternoon ceremony in Herrmann Hall, Dec. Sharpe is the recipient of the Monterey Council Navy League Award for Highest Academic Achievement for the 2016 Fall Quarter.
