报告题目：Art in Cryptography
报告摘要：
First, I will give an introduction of Cryptography and the development of Cryptography from ancient time to modern time. Public-key concept will be introduced and related to the importance of Network Security. I will then introduce the “Art in Cryptography” to explore properties existed in most popular cryptographic schemes currently.
I will briefly review my life experience and lessons learned so far. An interesting story learned from the Chair of AsiaCrypt 2003, Prof. Laih, in 2004 about Hobby will be discussed. The importance of choosing a hobby in life will be addressed.
The conversation with a retired professor majoring in Chinese in 2010 on the subject of Art in Chinese Painting will be introduced. This conversation has changed my life since then. Chinese writing has become my hobby.
Some writings of mine will be used to highlight the joyful experience in writing. I will present what lessons learned in my career as a Cryptographer which have benefitted me in the writing.
