Live from the February 2020 DC206 monthly meeting

DC206 Meeting Presentation:

Title: Public Key Cryptography, How and Why Does It Work?

Abstract: A description of the non-elliptic versions of RSA and DHA followed by a primer on the branches of math involved in understanding why they function. It’s expected you know basic algebra, and what powers and logarithms are. This will be a live-coding talk where Python is used to illustrate the concepts.

Bio: I’ve been a programmer since computers captured my imagination when I was very young. Computer security and cryptography became a focus of my learning in 2003 when I worked at a very underfunded startup in the instant messaging space.
