Join host Pranet Sharma as he sits down with guest Saroja Erabelli, a cryptography engineer from MIT to discuss the potential overlaps of cryptography and astronomy. Topics include: encrypting satellite transmissions and communication, quantum cryptography, the physics of sending signals longer distances, the history of data encryption in space, the cryptography behind your GPS, astronomical financial transactions (and the rising importance of monetary encryption), the advent of quantum computing and its implication for cryptography, and why astronomy could be the next catalyst for cryptography's development.
