The talk will highlight how the most simple technique leads researchers to the final puzzle, which turns out to be the most complex part. To put it simply: you are in front of the treasure, and the lock is a complex mathematical puzzle. Tune in to find out how we solve such cyber crimes and malicious puzzles.
