Research retreat
Wednesday and Thursday afternoon are reserved for the research retreat.
The results of the working groups will be wrapped up on Friday morning.
The aim of this workshop is to move forward in code-based
cryptography. Therefore it is essential that the participants
are willing to discuss new ideas, brainstorm together and
collaborate.
Organization
On Wednesday afternoon we will set up the
working groups. The idea is that the participants
split into smaller groups
which will gather in various rooms in Building 303B to discuss
and work on problems.
The ultimate goal is that the groups start collaborations beyond
the workshop, hopefully resulting in interesting publications.
Topics so far suggested by participants:
- Hard- and software implementations of attacks as well as cryptosystems
- Key security (distinguishers)
- Signatures
- Information-set decoding
- Structural attacks
- Decoding algorithms
- Constant-weight encoding
- Root searching
