What is...braid group cryptography?

Описание: Goal.
Explaining basic concepts of geometric topology in an intuitive way.

This time.
What is...braid group cryptography? Or: Applications 2 (topology in cybersecurity).

Disclaimer.
Nobody is perfect, and I might have said something silly. If there is any doubt, then please check the references.

Disclaimer.
Geometric topology is usually the study of manifolds. This can mean manifold things ;-) So to be precise, this video series is mostly about knots, surfaces, three and four manifolds.
