Cryptography is often considered one of the crown jewels in a young discipline, computer science, but it’s really an ancient subject that helped bring into existence the computer age. Our speakers will explore the ways cryptography is used (and abused) to run our world, as well as introduce some of the mathematics that modern cryptography is built on.
Arup Guha grew up in Winter Park and got undergraduate degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science at MIT in 1997.
