Elliptic Curves in Cryptography

Hear talks on "TLS Cryptography" and "Elliptic Curves in Cryptography" at Boston CyberSecurity's meet-up.

Boston CyberSecurity’s VP Emily Stamm will describe what an elliptic curve is and why it is important in public key cryptography. She will explain the classical elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) that is widely used today, as well as the modern post-quantum isogeny-based cryptography, which is cryptography based on maps between elliptic curves that is conjectured to be resistant to quantum computing attacks.

Then, Laurent Poulain will present on a close look at the cryptography used behind TLS to achieve a secure connection between two parties who have never met before, and detect any tampering attempt.
