The Art and Science of Cryptography. A talk for Dorset Humanists by Daniel Dancey

In this engaging talk, you'll learn about the fascinating history of sending secret messages and how modern cryptography is used to secure our data and communications today. After covering some of the technical aspects of the subject, we will discuss some of the contentious social and political issues surrounding cryptography. Daniel is treasurer of Dorset Humanists and a software engineer. This is his second full talk for Dorset Humanists. His first, last year, was about artificial intelligence.
