Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Code-based Cryptography Workshop (CBC) 2012.
This two-and-a-half-day workshop aims at introducing the
field of coding theory and at bringing everyone together
who is interested in discussions on how to move forward in applying
coding theory to cryptography and communication systems.
We plan 6-8 invited talks
spread over three mornings.
Wednesday and Thursday afternoon are reserved for the
research retreat.
The results of the working groups will be wrapped
up on Friday morning.
One objective is to make code-based cryptography ready to be
competitive or even an alternative of RSA and elliptic-curve
based cryptography. Current efforts concern developing an
efficient code-based signature scheme,
comparing different designs with respect to encryption/decryption
speed vs. key sizes, security reductions similar to proofs in
lattice-based cryptography, faster implementations on small devices
etc.
Another objective of this workshop is to explore the usage of
algebraic-geometric codes in network coding and cryptography. Here we
focus on fundamental research such as decoding algorithms and recent
developments in list-decoding techniques.
The workshop is organized by the Danish-Chinese Center for Applications of
Algebraic Geometry in Coding Theory and Cryptography
(AGINCC) in co-operation
with the European Network of Excellence in Cryptology II
(ECRYPT-II).
Note: Due to space limitations and in order to be able to ensure a
good working atmosphere the number of participants is limited
to 50 people.
The workshop is the third in a series of workshops dedicated to the
study of codes in cryptography.
