Joan and Alan sit on the grass, and Joan says "... but Euler's Theorem gives you that immediately", and there is a very brief shot of some mathematics in a notebook. The notebook sets out some equations involving prime numbers and modulus arithmetic which would in later decades become the basis for public key cryptography, the system which keeps everybody's personal details secure over the Internet. This is of course not an anachronistic "invention" of the RSA algorithm in 1941, but rather a clever in-joke on the part of the filmmakers.
