| Presenter: |
Prof. Fred Piper, Director of the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway |

| Synopsis: |
The last few decades have seen Cryptography transformed from being a black art to a popular science.
After a brief introduction to the subject we will give a brief history of cryptography to see how/why this has happened. (This will, of course, include the massive influence of computers!) We will also look at some political and business impacts and do a little crystal ball gazing. |
Professor Piper has kindly made the slides from his lecture available to download. They are in Microsoft PowerPoint  format.
