Introduction to Modern Cryptography [Quantumapalooza 2020 Series]

Content level: 100 Introductory
This event is a part of Quantumapalooza 2020 series; See http://2020.quantumapalooza.com/

Speaker: Thomas Plunkett, Harrisburg University of Science and Technology

Abstract: This presentation is an introduction to non-quantum cryptography so that those with a non-cryptography background will understand cryptography terminology when it is referred to in a Quantum Lecture. This Introduction to Modern Cryptography lecture will cover: One Time Pad, Symmetric and Asymmetric Encryption, Hashing, Public Key/Private Key, and RSA. Cryptography is often mentioned as one of the technical areas likely to be significantly disrupted by Quantum Computing. The meetup has already heard several guest speakers mention active areas of quantum research regarding cryptography: Shor’s Algorithm, Quantum Key Distribution, etc.

Bio: Thomas Plunkett is interested in Cryptography, Blockchain, and Quantum Technologies.
