London-ish Lattice & Coding Meeting: 10 May 2017

[Martin R. Albrecht]

Dear all,

Lattice-based approaches are emerging as a common theme in modern
cryptography and coding theory. In communications, they are
indispensable mathematical tools to construct powerful
error-correction
codes achieving the capacity of wireless channels. In
cryptography, they
are used to building lattice-based schemes with provable security,
better asymptotic efficiency, resilience against quantum attacks
and new
functionalities such as fully homomorphic encryption.

This meeting — on *10 May 2017* — is aimed at connecting the two
communities in the UK with a common interest in lattices, with a
long-term goal of building a synergy of the two fields. It will
consist
of several talks on related topics, with a format that will
hopefully
encourage interaction.

## Directions ##

Follow directions at http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/getting_here/ but go
to 1st floor instead of 5th floor.

# Registration #

Everyone is welcome. Two caveats:

1. Speakers are told the audience is somewhat familiar with
lattices.

2. Please send us an email at <c.l...@imperial.ac.uk>, so that the
size
of the room fits with the number of participants.

Best,
Cong Ling and Martin Albrecht
