GUWAHATI: The ancient art of secret writings in signs and codes has come a long way and cryptography has become an indispensable tool to protect secrecy in many spheres of life.
This was stated by mathematician and father of Indian cryptography, Padma Shri Bimal Kumar Roy at the two-day national workshop on cryptography which began at the University of Science and Technology (USTM) at Baridua in Ri Bhoi on Tuesday.
“Security measurement of a country can be foolproof through development cryptography,” Roy said.
The workshop was organised by the department of mathematics, USTM with the support of Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata.
Cryptography is being used in day to day lives of millions of common people by way of banking transaction cards, computer passwords, electronic voting machines and e-commerce transactions.
Cryptography is associated with the process of converting ordinary plain text into unintelligible text and vice-versa.
