Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
This talk takes a look at the tumultuous history of cryptography from the late 20th century to today.
It gives an introduction to cryptography as a State tool for secret communication and as a weapon of war, and its transition into a so-called dual-use technology. The talk concludes by exploring cryptographic algorithms from the perspective of civil resistance and asymmetric warfare.
Speaker: Andreas Tsamados
This in-person event is free and open to all. Refreshments will be served from 5.00 pm, followed by the talk at 5.30 pm. There will be a Q&A session after the talk and a drinks reception.
