Alice, Bob et la sécurité informatique

A mixture of obscure mathematical results and spy stories, computer security is today a field as crucial as it is dangerously misunderstood.

Symmetric and asymmetric encryption, digital fingerprints, authentication... these initially opaque concepts will be addressed, and their role in our daily lives illustrated: from the security of our banking transactions to the electronic signature of a document, through password hacking.

Other topics may also be addressed such as explanations or stories of common or conversely high-profile cyberattacks, depending on the mediator.
