<p style="color: #323232;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;margin: 0;padding: 3px 0 10px 0;">It’s not every day that Euclid appears in public with “Alice and Bob,” but in a lecture spanning a
few thousand years, Ronald Rivest summons these and other notables in his history of cryptography.
While citing milestones of code-making and breaking, Rivest also brings his audience up to date on
the latest systems for securing information and communication networks, which owe much to his
own research.</p>

is still inefficiently pursuing goals that don’t make much sense. The problems really are political,
not technical, and come from the fact that this stuff tends to be on the second page of
the business section.

organization and technological innovation, and energy and the environment, microeconomics may not
