Thursday 13.12 at 6pm at Arkadia: ‘Cryptography: how a useless piece of math made the internet possible’ by Rakhim Davletkaliyev

Dear friend of Arkadia,

You are invited to ‘Cryptography: how a useless piece of math made the internet possible’ by Rakhim Davletkaliyev on Thursday 13.12 at 6pm at Arkadia (Nervanderinkatu 11)

Number theory, a field of math that was considered somewhat useless, suddenly became indispensable in the XX century. Today it is in the core of cryptography, the backbone of all communication on Earth. Without it, internet would not be possible, nor would we be able to safely send emails, pay online or have private conversations on the phone.

In this lecture Rakhim will talk about the fascinating history of ciphers, and about an ingenious in its simplicity idea behind modern cryptography. You will understand how credit cards, Skype and online shopping take advantage of this idea and keep your data and money safe.

Welcome!
 
Warm regards,
