Applying Modern Mathematics
Public Key Cryptography: Secrecy in Public by Professor Raymond Flood. For centuries massive intellectual effort has gone into methods of ensuring secure communication, because of its importance in diplomatic, commercial and military affairs. Up until recently these methods have relied on the exchange of a secret key or protocol between correspondents. Now, however, a new approach based on mathematics, called public key cryptography, is used and this underlies much of modern commerce and how you pay over the internet. (from gresham.ac.uk)
