[Alta-Logic] peripatetic seminar tomorrow

[Florian Schwarz]

Dear all,

Tomorrow, on Friday October 4th we will hear from Kristine Taha Hedayat 
in the peripatetic seminar. It will take place at 1pm in ICT 616.

Title: The Intersection between Number Theory, Abstract Algebra, and 
Cryptography

Abstract: In this talk we will cover the mathematics behind a security 
system that is thought to be secure against quantum computer hacking; 
the Supersingular Ell Isogeny Cryptosystem. Specifically the 
Supersingular Ell Isogeny Graph. This abstract object is made of 
isomorphic elliptic curves and equivalent homomorphisms between them. 
The Supersingular Ell Isogeny graph is an extremely complicated graph 
that is used for cryptosystems (for the future), but we will use a 
simpler approach to find patterns within this convoluted graph.

Hope to see you there!

Best regards,

Florian Schwarz
