Coding Theory and Cryptography

From SIAG-AG

Post quantum cryptography has become so important because quantum computers would be built in the future and so many of our current cryptosystems based on the hardness of the problem of factorization of integers and discrete log problems would be broken.

There are three main areas in post quantum cryptography. These are codes based cryptography, lattices based cryptography, and polynomial based cryptography. We invited top researchers in each area and discuss current research with the connection of Coding Theory, Algebra, Number Theory, and Algebraic Geometry.
