Cryptography is an essential part of today's privacy focused world. But how does Cryptography guarantee that your data is indeed 'encrypted'? In this talk, we will take a look at how hard mathematical problems give rise to useful cryptographic tools going beyond encryption. We will also delve into what it means for a problem to be called hard, and finally we will look at a particular example (code equivalence), explore its hardness, and see how it's utilised to give us aforementioned cryptographic tools.
