The lecture “Cybersecurity: How Mathematics Protects Your Data,” presented by Florent Lorne, a faculty member in the Department of Electronics, Telecommunications, and Networks (ETR), and Michel Raibaut, a faculty member and researcher at the Mathematics Laboratory (LAMA) – Faculty of Science and Mountain Studies (SceM), will take place on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at La Turbine Cinema, Rue de l’Arlequin, Cran-Gevrier, 74960 Annecy.
About the conference
Every time you make an online purchase, log into your bank account, or even visit a website, your data travels securely. Cybersecurity protocols built on a geometric object—elliptic curves—stand guard across these networks. These mathematical curves, known since ancient times, became a key tool of modern cryptography during the 20th century.
How are they used in encryption protocols? How do they facilitate the transition to digital signatures? What are the best practices to adopt when dealing with cybersecurity challenges?
