Privacy and security are two obvious necessities of modern life. Yet, when it comes to protecting digital data, these are new concepts that are still not well understood. The invention of public-key cryptography in 1978 made such endeavours become a reality, so that now we have a practical way of performing securely many electronic tasks where a proof of identity is essential. Signatures, authentications, key agreements are nowadays part of our daily electronic life, be it in an online transaction or when withdrawing money from an ATM.

隐私和安全是现代生活中两个明显的必需品。然而，当涉及到保护数字数据时，这些新概念仍然没有得到很好的理解。1978年公钥密码学的发明使这种努力成为现实，因此现在我们有了一种实用的方法来安全地执行许多电子任务，其中身份证明是必不可少的。签名、认证、密钥协议如今是我们日常电子生活的一部分，无论是在网上交易还是从自动取款机上取款。
