Cryptography is an invisible yet essential technology: It ensures the security of our smartphones, online banking access, and many other digital systems. But how secure are these encryptions really?
On Tuesday, April 15, at 5:30 PM, CASA PI Gregor Leander will provide insights into the world of cryptography as part of the knowledge series "Security(ies)." In his talk, "How to Hack Smartphones and Doors with Mathematics," he explores the security of encryption methods that protect our digital everyday lives. Using clear and engaging examples, Gregor Leander explains how mathematics and cryptography work together to secure – or bypass – our data and physical access points.
The lecture is open to anyone interested in learning more about security in everyday life. Admission is free. The venue is fully accessible.
