Cryptography and Security

10:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Room: Cornett A120

Cryptography research exploded in the 1970's with the invention of public-key cryptography. In the intervening thirty years, research has continued on many types of cryptographic primitives and protocols. In recent years, research in applied cryptography and security has grown increasingly important. The term "security" now includes many aspects such as network security, software security, computer security, privacy, etc. Cryptography and security has become an increasingly interdisciplinary science, with contirbutions from many areas of mathematics (especially discrete mathematics and numbet theory) and compute science. This minisymposium will consist of five talks on recent research areas in cryptography and security.
