Following the introduction, Dr. Adhikari started delivering his lecture on the application of number theory in cyber security. He began by discussing several online threats and their impacts on the life of an ordinary internet user. Then he mentioned that cryptography can be a potential saviour in this scenario and introduced the audience with several aspects of the field including the public key cryptosystem. He illustrated through SageMath the application of modular arithmetic and other fields of number theory in the area of public key cryptosystem which helps in securing the cyber world.
