Mathematics Awareness Month Activities
Internet Security and Cryptography
METU Chapter of SIAM Activities
The American Mathematical Society, The American Statistical Association, The Mathematical Association of America, and The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) announce that the theme for Mathematics Awareness Month 2006 is "Internet Security and Cryptography".
When you use your home computer to log on to your bank account and pay
a bill, to buy a book from Amazon, or to buy or sell something on
eBay, you assume your personal details--your social security number,
your bank account access password, or your credit card number--cannot
be read by an unauthorized third party. What makes this possible is
mathematics.
According to this year's theme METU Chapter of SIAM organizes seminars related with those topics.
