{{Short description|Computer science professor}}

Yongge Wang (born 1967) is a computer science professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte specialized in algorithmic complexity and cryptography. He is the inventor of IEEE P1363 cryptographic standards SRP5 and WANG-KE{{cite web|url=http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1363/passwdPK/draft.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020505113708/http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1363/passwdPK/draft.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 5, 2002|title=IEEE P1363.2 Draft Download|website=IEEE|access-date=22 August 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1363/IBC/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060502000829/http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1363/IBC/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 2, 2006|title=Identity-Based Public-Key Cryptography|website=IEEE|access-date=22 August 2017}} and has contributed to the mathematical theory of algorithmic randomness. He co-authored a paper demonstrating that a recursively enumerable real number is an algorithmically random sequence if and only if it is a Chaitin's constant for some encoding of programs. He also showed the separation{{cite web|url=http://webpages.uncc.edu/yonwang/papers/thesis.pdf|format=PDF|title=Inaugural Dissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorw¨urde der Naturwissenschaftlich-Mathematischen Gesamtfakult¨at der Ruprecht-Karls-Universit¨at Heidelberg vorgelegt von Yongge Wang aus Gansu, China 1996 Randomness and Complexity Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Klaus Ambos-Spies Prof. Dr. Jack Lutz Tag der m¨undlichen Pr¨ufung: August 30, 1996|website=Webpages.uncc.edu|access-date=2017-08-22}} of Schnorr randomness from recursive randomness. He also invented a distance based statistical testing technique to improve NIST SP800-22 testing in randomness tests. In cryptographic research, he is known for the invention of the quantum resistant random linear code based encryption scheme RLCE.{{cite arXiv|title=Quantum Resistant Random Linear Code Based Public Key Encryption Scheme RLCE|first=Yongge|last=Wang|date=28 December 2015|eprint=1512.08454|class=cs.CR}}{{cite web |url=http://quantumca.org/ |title=Quantum Resistant RLCE Encryption Scheme|access-date=2017-10-02}}
