Cryptography has been around for thousands of years but the new Public-Key Cryptography is the foundation of secure internet communication and you use it every time you access a secure website. This talk will give a brief history and explain how public-key cryptography is so extraordinary and how it works using surprisingly simple mathematics (prime numbers, multiplication and powers), how you can construct your own public-key system, and how it is used in the real world across a wide range of applications.
