- News
We’re thrilled to announce that the second Distinguished Speaker Symposium of the year is taking place next month at the stunning Outernet, London.
On the 21st November, we will welcome two renowned mathematicians to the stage to offer unique insights into Prime Numbers and Cryptography.
Our Speakers
- Cliff Cocks, former Chief Mathematician at GCHQ (the UK’s intelligence, security and cyber agency)
- James Maynard, Field Medallist 2022
The Talks
- Cliff Cocks on Public Key Cryptography: How numbers secure the internet
Public Key cryptography is an essential tool that underpins internet security. The talk will first describe the origins of public key some 50 years ago and the mathematical techniques involved. The focus then shifts to a variety of applications enabled by public key cryptography, and ends with a discussion about the future and how we are meeting the threat from quantum computing.
- James Maynard on Patterns in prime numbers
Several of the most famous open questions in pure mathematics are about whether certain patterns of prime numbers occur infinitely often. Such questions have many important connections to other questions in mathematics and cryptography but have resisted the efforts of mathematicians for the past 100+ years. These questions, and how recent developments have made progress on these long-standing problems, will be the focus of this talk.

The G-Research Distinguished Speaker Symposium
The Distinguished Speaker Symposium is our flagship event and the 2024 edition – on Prime Numbers and Cryptography – is the third in our history.
In January 2024, our last Symposium focused on the Future of Chips and Electronics, when we heard from Professor Sir Andre Geim, Michael Kagan (CTO at NVIDIA) and journalist and author, James Ashton at the Odeon, Leicester Square, London.
