 +  Program:  Cryptography:  From Enigma to Elliptical Curve Cryptography
 +
 +  Speaker:  Donald Costello
 +            Senior Lecturer and NCITE scholar
 +            Department of Computer Science
 +            University of Nebraska 
 +            Email: dcostello@cse.unl.edu 
 +
 +  About the Topic:
 +
 +  The story of cryptography goes back 4000 years and some of the 
 +mathematics employed goes back nearly as long.  With the coming 
 +of the computer age both the field of cryptography and the 
 +mathematics supporting it have been reawakened.
 +
 +  This talk will address the history of cryptography beginning 
 +with the Enigma used by Germany in WWII and broken by world 
 +famous mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing.  It will 
 +continue down to today’s advanced crypto systems such as RSA, PGP 
 +and elliptic curve cryptography. 
 +
 +  The lecture will point out the key role that cryptography plays 
 +in the future of e-commerce and the new products and ways of 
 +doing business that result when secure communications through 
 +cryptography are available. 
 +
 +

 +the business world and back.  
 +  
 +  He helped start three Computer Science Departments and three 
 +University Information Technology facilities.  He has taught both 
 +undergraduate and graduate courses, and he has done research in 
 +the areas of Statistical Computing, Performance Modeling, 
 +Standards for Learning Objects, and Managing Intellectual 
 +Property.  He also held a four-year Carnegie Foundation grant to 
 +investigate how IP is managed in universities around the world.
