Cryptography Everywhere | Protecting Data In Systems, Apps, And Communications - Is It Resilient Enough For What The Future Holds? | Redefining Society With Professor Kenneth Graham Paterson

Cryptography is now everywhere in the online world; but how do we know that it’s doing its job properly?

Security of “messaging systems” like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, etc. How do they work? What security do they offer? How do we know they're any good?

And those are just a few questions for today's reality where we tend to trust that the cryptographic algorithms in user are fairly resilient. What Impact will quantum computing have on cryptography in the future; a reality we must prepare for since quantum computing is developing rapidly. To be prepared for this, we must first understand quantum computing itself and what it means for conventional cryptographic systems. Only then can we determine how (and how well) we are getting ready for it.
