I am aiming to contribute to the strengthening of information security by clarifying the regularity of Mersenne prime expression to make the discovery of new Mersenne prime numbers easier.

I started my research when I was in junior high school. Thus far, I have discovered a number of theorems. I am confident that these theorems will become important keys to clarifying the characteristics of the prime factors of Mersenne prime numbers.

Going forward, I will start by aiming to understand the regularity of Mersenne prime expression by clarifying the characteristics of Mersenne prime factors. I would like to strengthen existing ciphers by making the discovery of new Mersenne prime numbers easier through clarification of the aforementioned characteristics. What is more, I would like to lead the results of the research to the development of new ciphers. I would also like to help as many people as possible see how interesting mathematics is.
