Cybersecurity, Nuclear Security, and Illogical Logic - Keynote by Martin Hellman

Explore a thought-provoking keynote address delivered by Martin Hellman, Stanford University professor and ACM A.M. Turing Award winner, at the 23rd ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS 2016). Delve into the interconnected realms of cybersecurity, nuclear security, and the groundbreaking work of Alan Turing. Examine the concept of "illogical logic" and its implications for modern security challenges. Gain insights into the development of public key cryptography, trapdoor cryptography, and the contributions of Ralph Merkle. Discover the hidden motivations behind technological advancements and the role of key figures like Admiral Bobby Inman and John Schwartz. Analyze the impact of the NSA Crisis Report on cyber security policies. Investigate the profound implications of Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem and Turing's revolutionary proof. Reflect on the ethical considerations of using logic as a weapon in the digital age. Engage with critical discussions on deterrence, cyber resilience, and the need to balance technological progress with security concerns. Conclude with a Q&A session addressing pressing issues in the rapidly evolving landscape of computer and communications security.
