Cryptography & Security |
|
|---|---|
 |
Cryptography is the backbone of securing all our digital interactions. It solves paradoxical problems such as communicating privately without ever meeting, proving you know a secret without revealing it, or computing over encrypted data. This is based on a rigorous theory founded on computational complexity. |

Quantum Computation |
|
|---|---|
 |
Quantum computation is a young and very active field studying computers based on the principles of quantum physics. Such computers can perform tasks that are believed to be impossible using standard computers, such as breaking many popular cryptographic codes. |
