London-ish Lattice Crypto & Coding Meeting: 21 September 2016

[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 21 September 2016 — 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.

# Registration #

Everyone is welcome. Two caveats:

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

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

Best,
Cong Ling and Martin Albrecht
