Cryptography

Panos Louridas

We all keep secrets—from our locker codes to our passwords to our online interactions. And we choose to share those secrets only with those whom we trust. So, too, do organizations, businesses, governments, and armies. In Cryptography, Panos Louridas provides a broad and accessible introduction to cryptography, the art and science of keeping and revealing secrets. Louridas explains just how cryptography works to keep our communications confidential, tracing it back all the way to its ancient roots. Then he follows its long and winding path to where we are today and reads the signs that point to where it may go tomorrow. 
 
 
 
A few years back, interest in cryptography was restricted to specialists. Today, as we all live our lives attuned to our digital footprint and the privacy issues it entails, it becomes more and more essential to have a basic understanding of cryptography and its applications to everyday life. Starting with classical cryptography, Cryptography takes the listener all the way up to the twenty-first century cryptographic applications that underpin our lives in the digital realm. Along the way, Louridas also explains concepts such as symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, cryptographic protocols and applications, and finally, quantum and post-Quantum cryptography as well as the links between cryptography and computer security.

Tech Startups - Building and...

Craig Dames

The foundation of every successful tech startup lies in adopting the right mindset—one that embraces uncertainty, thrives under pressure, and is relentlessly focused on solving real problems. Unlike traditional business models that may prioritize structure and predictability, startups demand a different kind of thinking: bold, experimental, and deeply resilient. The startup mindset is not just about launching a product; it’s about challenging the status quo and envisioning a better way of doing things.
At the heart of this mindset is the willingness to take risks. Entrepreneurs must accept that failure is not just a possibility—it’s often a necessary step toward success. Embracing risk doesn’t mean acting recklessly, but rather being comfortable making decisions without having all the answers. It means testing assumptions, learning quickly from setbacks, and moving forward with renewed insight. The ability to pivot when something isn’t working is a hallmark of great startup founders.
Equally important is cultivating a culture that thrives on problem-solving. Tech startups are often born out of frustration with how something works—or doesn’t work—in the world. Founders who succeed are those who remain obsessed with their customers’ pain points and are constantly looking for innovative ways to address them. This requires curiosity, empathy, and a drive to keep iterating until a solution clicks. It also involves surrounding oneself with a team that shares this passion and can offer diverse perspectives on how to improve and evolve.
