London-ish Lattice Coding & Crypto Meeting

London-ish Lattice Coding & Crypto Meeting
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 29 September 2017 — is aimed at connecting the two communities 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.

Program 

10:30 - 12:00 | Rachel Player: Parameter Selection in Ring-LWE-based FHE
13:00 - 14:30 | Ram Zamir: Lattices in Information Theory

Registration

Everyone is welcome. Two caveats:

  1. Speakers are told the audience is somewhat familiar with lattices.
  2. Please send us an email at  [email protected] , so that the size of the room fits with the number of participants.
