Math Colloquium - "Tales from the Crypt: The Mathematics of Secret Messages" by Darin Stephenson, Math Dept., VanderWerf 104 Additional information: ABSTRACT: Due to the growing usage of internet commerce, ATM and credit card transactions, and electronic correspondence, the need for secure communications has never been more evident. However, the desire to transmit sensitive information from place to place privately dates back many centuries. This need for security has resulted in the development of cryptology, a field that relies heavily on abstract algebra and number theory. In this talk, we will discuss the basic goals involved in cryptology, as well as the mathematics involved in creating simple cryptosystems. Our primary examples will include affine cryptosystems and simple examples of public key cryptosystems. We will give historical information relating to the development of cryptology and indications as to what new directions the field has taken since the development of public key cryptography nearly 30 years ago. |
