Without the ability to keep secrets, our internet would fail. Without effective cryptography the internet would never have graduated from the hobbyist interest. And we have great examples of networks without effective encryption like the worldwide HAM radio operators.I’ve been utilizing cryptography in the development of web applications since my first professional web application development work. Although I’ve rarely understood the underlying technology and mathematics of cryptography.In this episode of SecureTalk, our guest is Dr. Bill Anderson, an expert in cryptography. Bill shares his journey into the field, starting as a student in electrical and computer engineering. He inadvertently ventured into cryptography during his postgraduate studies. He discusses the evolution of cryptography, its historical context, and the impact of quantum computing on current cryptographic methods.We explore various topics, including public key cryptography, digital signatures, and the ongoing need for crypto agility. Bill also provides insights into his current role as Principal Product Lead at Mattermost, a secure collaboration platform focused on data sovereignty and security. This episode offers a comprehensive look at modern cryptographic techniques and the challenges posed by future advancements in computing, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in cybersecurity and cryptography.00:00 Welcome to SecureTalk: Introduction and Host Introduction00:33 The Role of Security in Business Growth01:55 Introducing Dr. Bill Anderson: A Security Expert03:57 Dr. Anderson's Journey into Cryptography05:35 The Evolution of Security and Cryptography08:11 Understanding Business and Technology Landscapes13:56 Mattermost: A Secure Collaboration Platform22:01 The History and Methods of Cryptography25:01 Understanding Public and Private Keys25:58 Digital Signatures and Authentication27:12 The Open Research Model in Cryptography28:31 Challenges in Cryptographic Security31:02 Quantum Computing and Cryptography35:38 The Future of Cryptographic Systems42:04 NIST's Role in Quantum-Safe Cryptography49:41 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
