Abstract: Elliptic curves can be used to factor integers, and
to test whether integers are prime. They were also used in the proof
of Fermat's Last Theorem. There are elliptic curves in cell phones,
wireless modems, handheld computers, internet microbrowsers, pagers,
and smart cards. Some recent new applications of elliptic curves
allow 3 parties to share a secret. What are elliptic curves, and why
are they so powerful? Find out at this talk.
