M3205: How Number Theory Secures our World: From Prime Numbers to RSA in Splash! Fall 2013 (Nov. 02 - 03, 2013)
It's really hard to factor a really big number into two primes. It seems like a simple idea, but it's the basis for the RSA cryptosystem which is at the core of our internet security infrastructure. Come learn how one of the most commonly-used cryptographic algorithms (and related friends!) work, and how to mathematically prove they're secure. What was once considered an esoteric realm of pure mathematics has profoundly practical implications in the domain of cryptography and encryption; learn how the study of prime numbers forms the basis for public-key encryption as we trace the evolution of number theory from Euclid's Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic all the way to RSA and beyond.
