Posts are marking the birthday of French mathematician Évariste Galois, born on this day in 1811. Galois laid the foundations of Galois theory and group theory, mathematics that underpins much of modern cryptography. He is also remembered for his dramatic life: he died at just 20 from wounds suffered in a duel, leaving behind work that shaped centuries of mathematics and today's digital security.
Why now: The anniversary of Galois's birth is prompting people to celebrate his legacy and its role in modern cryptography.
