Jill Pipher, Elisha Benjamin Andrews Professor of Mathematics, Brown University and director of the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics, lectures on “Mathematical ideas in Cryptography: from ancient times to a post-quantum age.”
How does encryption work? How do we know that our current encryption methods are secure? Pipher provides answers and explores why we need new mathematical ideas to deal with emerging problems, such as privacy for information stored in the cloud, and the computational potential of quantum computing.
