Abstract: Modern algorithms of cryptology, heavily based on abstract algebraic methods, are testaments to how we can exploit complex and powerful computers to provide useful engineering solutions to real world security problems. Yet, these algorithms are extremely primitive compared to how humans developed elaborate tools to keep the secrecy of important information. In this talk, we will review the state of the art in cryptology, and describe the development of different techniques over the last 100 years.
