M1078: Introduction to Cryptography in Splash Spring 2023 (Apr. 23, 2023)
Today, the Internet is used for almost every part of our lives: communication, shopping, banking, and so much more. Unfortunately, Internet attackers are out there, so we want to send sensitive information securely. How can we do this? In this class, we will cover the basics of public-key cryptography. We will learn what constitutes a secure communication system and how one might create such a system. Along the way, we will uncover some beautiful mathematics involving prime numbers.
