+ | 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. | ||
+ | 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. | ||
+ | |||
