I have not created any works that can be considered prior art for this patent application (which is actually now abandoned). My research primarily involves exploiting the computationally intensive aspects of the Collatz function (and its inverse) to construct cryptographic systems. Systems whose elements are computationally difficult to deconstruct, but trivial to construct and verify are of particular interest to me.
