The Magic of Math in Modern Cryptography

This presentation covers the magical math that underlies computer security. It is presented graphically so complex topics can be understood by all.

Presentation topics include:
1. How to achieve privacy when someone is always listening. 2:10
2. How to decide on a secret when everyone is watching. 9:50
3. How to turn one random number into unlimited random numbers. 16:08
4. How to speak in a way that's impossible to imitate. 21:48
5. How to help protect data without possessing it. 31:36
6. How to check work you can't see. 37:54
7. How to process data you don't have access to. 47:23

Each of these sound impossible, but are enabled by mathematics.
