Lecture

Time & Place

Thursday 10⁰⁰- 12⁰⁰, b-it 1.25.

First meeting: Thursday, 29 October 2009, 10⁰⁰, b-it 1.25.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of cryptography and fast understanding of mathematical and computer science topics is required.

The topic is not yet determined. Previous instantiations dealt with Fuzzy Coding Theory, Zero-Knowledge, PCP, Ellitpic Curve Theory, ... In any case the topic will try to dig deeper than what you expect in a standard course or seminar.

Coding theory with a focus to Misoczki & Barreto (2009)

Misoczki & Barreto (2009). Compact McEliece Keys from Goppa Codes. (PDF)

The first two sessions are unrelated to the coding theory topic and will be devoted to a result by Schnorr:

29 October and 5 November 2009, 10¹⁵.
Daniel Loebenberger.
The Schnorr factoring proposal.

Schedule

12 and 19 November, 10¹⁵.
