Samuel S. Wagstaff works in number theory, with particular focus on prime numbers, primality testing, factorization methods, and cryptography based on number-theoretic principles. His work includes both foundational mathematical results (such as properties of Bernoulli numbers and pseudoprimes) and applied topics like public-key cryptography and integer factorization algorithms, some of which are captured in a book covering many aspects of number-theoretic cryptography.

Publication output was concentrated in a single large burst in 2019 (likely a book with many chapter-length entries), with only sporadic, low-volume output in the years before and after, suggesting a slowing pace over the past decade.
