Defending us from our cyber enemies is a diverse group of elite scientists. They are experts in extreme physics, maths and ultra-paranoid computing, harnessing the weirdest forces in the universe to forge unbreakable codes and ultra-fast computers.This program investigates how they're using simple maths to keep our bank details safe, planting passwords in our unconscious brains, and harnessing the most bizarre physics we know of to build a whole new kind of computer - all to try and stay one step ahead of the hackers.
