The Magic of Math in Modern Cryptography

Jason Resch presents a visual, graphical guide to the mathematical concepts powering modern cryptography, including zero-knowledge proofs and encryption.

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.
