We use the internet every day with an assumption of privacy—but how is trust mathematically guaranteed in an untrusted world?

Science Unplugged: The Ciphered Web takes you on a fascinating journey through the world of cryptography. From the historical failures of “secret codes” to the modern era of rigorous mathematical proofs, this talk explores how security on the internet is really built.

Learn how World War II espionage reshaped cryptography, why quantum computers threaten today’s encryption, and how cutting-edge lattice-based cryptography may hold the key to securing the future of the web.

No prior technical background required—just curiosity.
