Location: Room C in the NPU Administration Building
Abstract:
In cryptography, an oblivious transfer protocol (OT) is a protocol by which a sender sends some information to the receiver, but remains oblivious (i.e., forgetful) as to what is received. OT can be used in applications that require privacy, for example dating and anonymous electronic voting.
This presentation will give an overview of OT and describe how to conduct OT with RSA-based blind signature. A dating game protocol will be used as an example to explain the application of OT.

Topic: The Outbreak of World War I: Why 1914 is the Most Important Year of the Twentieth Century.
Speaker: Dr. Martin Suto
Date/Time: Saturday, 3/27/2010, 4:00-5:00PM
Location: Room C in the NPU Administration Building
Abstract:
In the summer of 1914, what historian Eugene Weber called the second Thirty Years War, that is, what we call World Wars I and II (1914-45), began.
This was much more significant than the Thirty Years War or any of the previous wars fought among the European powers as they gradually conquered most of the world. Historians increasingly see it as the end of the Modern Era (roughly 1500 to 1914), and the beginning of what is increasingly referred to as the Contemporary Era. How did it happen? While you could say that both the Seven Years War (1756-1763) and the Wars of the French Revolution and Napoleon Bonaparte (1792-1815) had been world conflicts, Europe had not had a world conflict since 1815. There was no figure like Bonaparte or Hitler that it can be blamed on. It was a tragic mistake that had its origins on the failure of the balance of power, nationalism versus a dying dynastic state, new technology that was first introduced in the American Civil War, and the “blank check” that one power gave to its ally.
Introduction to the speaker:
Martin Suto graduated from San Jose State University in 1972. He got both his MA in European History at (1974) and also his Ph.D. in American History (1979) at UCLA. While writing his dissertation, he taught at California Polytechnic University at San Luis Obispo from 1977-1978. He got his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1982, and while getting it, taught for two years in the English department at that university. When he lived in New York City, he also taught history at The State University of New York and at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He also taught in the Finance Departments of New York University, and at the New School for Social Research. Since 1989 he has taught history at San Jose State University, California State University at Hayward, De Anza College, College of San Mateo, Skyline College and the College of Notre Dame. He has also taught economics at Menlo College. Though he has in the past practiced law in the area of Securities Regulation, he is not practicing law at the present, but remains a member of the California Bar.
