Public Lecture / Conférence populaire
- ALEXEI G. MYASNIKOV, McGill
Complexity of computations and cryptography
-
Applications of mathematical methods to cryptography is one of the
most rapidly developing areas of interdisciplinary research which
attracts a lot of interest among mathematicians across the borders.
Current situation with information security unambiguously indicates
that such interest will be just getting stronger in the years to come.
In this talk I would like to discuss the feedback, the increasing
influence of new methods and ideas coming to mathematics from modern
information technologies, the quest for paradigm change that we are
experiencing now. It seems that we are going to witness some
fundamental changes in our perception of algorithmic mathematics in
the very near future. What are these changes, what kind of new
interesting problems arise here, what is the role of "experimental
mathematics" (if any)-these are the questions I would like to touch
on in my lecture.
