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, March 26, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at the Friche Artistique et Solidaire, 77 allée des artistes, 73700 Bourg Saint Maurice.
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—guard your data as it travels across networks. These mathematical curves, known since ancient times, became a key tool in 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?
