zrbyte writes "One-time pads are the holy grail of cryptography they are impossible to crack, even in principle. However, the ability to copy electronic code makes one-time pads vulnerable to hackers. Now engineers at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, have found a way round this to create a system of cryptography that is invulnerable to electronic attack. Their solution is based on a special kind of one-time pad that generates a random key through the complexity of its physical structure, namely shining a light through a diffusive glass plate."

"I will talk about how even very simple properties of numbers are in fact very mysterious and are at the root of some very active areas of research in modern mathematics. I will also show how our understanding of quantum physics and of elementary particles can help us shape our understanding of some of these fundamental questions on the properties of numbers. The mysteries surrounding prime numbers and prime factorization, in turn, have a broad impact on our information based society."
