Bridge Theory to Practice: Cryptology and Cyber Resilience
20 -27 July 2014 (Sunday-Sunday), “National Institute of Education”, Oriahovitza, Bulgaria
One intensive week of theory, practice and discussions: 4-hour lectures and tutorials by international experts extended with practical workshops, labs and seminars, simulations, round-table discussions and working groups on hot topics
Listed in the Calendar of Events of IACR (International Association for Cryptologic Research).
In focus for 2014 (but not limited to):
Theory
- Fundamentals of e-Voting: blind signatures and homomorphic encryption (legal aspects)
- Functional encryption – identity-based encryption (IBE) and attribute-based encryption (ABE)
- Curve-based cryptography – theoretical and practical aspects
- Pairing-based cryptography
Practice
- Biometrics for security
- Electronic Voting – practical realization
- Searchable encryption
- Security of Mobile Payments
- Side-channel Resistance – practical labs and simulation
Preliminary list of Lectures and Tutorials:
Razvan Barbulescu (LIX, France) – Algorithms of discrete logarithm in finite fields
Claude Barral (Bactech, France) – Biometrics basics; Biometrics & cryptography interaction
Thomas Roche (ANSSI, France) – Side Channel Attacks
Tancrède Lepoint (CryptoExperts, France) – Homomorphic encryption from theory to practice
Ben Smyth (INRIA, France) – e-Voting
Dimitar Jetchev (EPFL, Switzerland) – Searchable Encryption
Nicolas Gama (Université de Versailles, France) – Proxy Re-encryption
Mariya Georgieva (Gemalto, France) – Dynamical systems and LLL algorithm
Iosif Androulidakis (Greece) – Security of telecommunication systems (ad-hoc)
