Very interesting stuff! I was inspired to watch this as I am reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown.

can someone break this down for me?.. what exactly are they talking about?

Fun stuff! WW2 cryptography, esp. is fun stuff to learn about. I believe "the bombe" was the mechanical device used to crack "the Enigma". Also, it's interesting to learn about "JN-25",particularly, because it was decoded using only pen and paper. The Enigma, on the other hand, utilized an electro-mechanical device. Anyway, I really enjoy listening to the wide variety of lectures provided by Google. Keep up the great work!

Great lecture. I read a few thing about cryptography and this lecture mentions many of them, in a very easy to understand way. Thanks for posting. Btw could someone tell me wich universities have worth-doing post-studies programmes on cryptography?

I don't think S/MIME is well suited for web-based clients. You generally don't want your private keys to live on a remote server, so would want to store them locally. Regardless, it is possible to support S/MIME in a web-based client with JavaScript and something like Google Gears for key storage. But, I think you'd be better off just using a S/MIME compatible email client with Gmail IMAP/POP access.

when will gmail inherently support SMIME (not through 3rd party apps)?

Hi. I plan to post the slides soon. They are internal-only Google Docs for now. I will export them all to my personal web page when I get a chance.

Hey, you work at Google... How about publishing your slides on Google docs? I see you are already using it... Great Tech Talks btw.

Thanks for posting it. I hope to see more to come. Next week I will have presentation about Applied Cryptography by Bruce Scheier.

apologies... just got to the end of the lecture where it was brought up.
