| Title | What Math Can and Cannot Do in Cryptography |
| Date | February 12 4:00pm PDL C-36 |
|
After describing the sense in which cryptography is
multidisciplinary, I'll give an overview of some of
the ways that mathematics (including some recent and
sophisticated results) have contributed. I'll also
discuss some questionable aspects of attempts to
mathematize cryptography.
