Tagungen und Workshops zum Thema Angewandte Mathematik: Kryptographie, Blockchain und Informationssicherheit

Lehrstuhl für Mathematik VII (Numerical Mathematics and Optimization), Universität Würzburg

The focus of this summer school is on recent developments in cryptography, graph theory, and their intersection. Topics are the distribution of products of two distinct prime numbers (as they are used for keys in RSA), an isogeny-based elliptic curve cryptosystem (as a candidate for post-quantum cryptography), and aspects of algebraic graph theory (e.g., the spectrum of graphs, expanders and Ramanujan graphs and their role in certain post-quantum cryptosystems). The Summer School is supported by the European Mathematical Society.

Cryptography plays a central role in securing communication and information technology services around the world. Academic research in cryptography runs a broad spectrum, from pure mathematics to applied computer science and software and electrical engineering. Selected Areas in Cryptography (SAC) is Canada's research conference on cryptography, held annually since 1994. SAC consists of contributed talks on refereed scientific papers selected by an international program committee. This year, as for the past few years, SAC will be preceded by the SAC Summer School,

The NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process has entered the next phase, in which 26 second-round candidates are being considered for standardization. NIST plans to hold a second NIST PQC Standardization Conference in August 2019 to discuss various aspects of these candidates, and to obtain valuable feedback for the selection of the finalists soon after the conference. NIST will invite each submission team of the 26 second-round candidates to give a short update on their algorithm.

Quantum Communications for ALL (QCALL) is a European Innovative Training Network that endeavours to take the next necessary steps to bring the developing quantum technologies closer to the doorsteps of end users. QCALL will empower a nucleus of 15 doctoral researchers in this area to provide secure communications in the European continent and, in the long run, to its connections worldwide.

The QCALL Early-Stage Researchers Conference (ESRC) is a four-day conference on quantum communications, aimed at Master and PhD students as well as early post-doctoral researchers.

The conference will feature five well-known invited speakers, introducing each of the main topics of the conference, and possibly an industrial session will be organised. There will also be time for around 30 talks by other participants as well as a poster session. The topics covered by the conference will be:

Entanglement-based Quantum Communications

Security of QKD

Satellite QKD

MDI-QKD and TF-QKD

Component technology (Chip-based QKD, detectors, QRNG, etc.)

The list of invited speakers for each session, respectively, is below:

Wolfgang Tittel (QuTech)

Charles Lim Ci Wen (CQT Singapore)

Daniel Oi (University of Strathclyde)

Li Qian (University of Toronto)

Jake Kennard (KETS)

The deadline for submission has been extended to the 30th of June 2019. Post-deadline applications will be considered, please contact the organisers.

A decision will be notified at the email you provide on or before the 17th of July 2019.

Deadline for registration is the 31st of July.

All deadlines are 23:59 UTC

Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques (CIRM)

During the 3 days of this session of the Interface programme, academics and industry will meet to share a common understanding of these « blockchain » technologies, starting from basic concepts to go to advanced cryptographic primitives that allow to manage the confidentiality of data in particular in a distributed environment. The main objective is to discuss mathematical issues and techniques specific to trust management in a distributed environment, based in particular on industrial use cases (identity, energy, internet of things, etc.).

INTERFACE PROGRAM (CIRM-INDUSTRY): Keywords: authentication, personal identity management in a distributed environment, associated protocols, delegation, case of the Internet of Things, data protection and cyber-security in the context of blockchain applied to specific use cases, Proof-of-work, Proof-of-Stake, hard/soft fork, Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerant, Proof-of-Elapsed-Time. ​​

The first ACM conference on Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT’19) aims to be a premier venue presenting the latest developments in technologies related directly and indirectly to novel financial infrastructure such as cryptocurrencies and their applications, blockchains, and exchanges.

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

NIST has initiated a process to solicit, evaluate and standardize lightweight cryptographic algorithms that are suitable for constrained environments. NIST will hold a workshop on November 4-6, 2019 in Gaithersburg, MD, to discuss candidate algorithms, including design strategies, implementations, performance, cryptanalysis, and target applications.

4th International Conference on Combinatorics, Cryptography, Computer science and Computation (I4C2019) will be held in, Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran, Iran 2019. Original research papers in the areas of algebra mathematics, algorithms, theory of computation, computational complexity, and combinatorics related to computing are solicited. In addition to theoretical results, we are particularly interested in submissions that report on experimental and applied research of general algorithmic interest. Special consideration will be given to research that is motivated by real-world problems
