Joint MPIM and B-IT workshop on Number Theory and Cryptography

Organizers: Joachim von zur Gathen, Pieter Moree, Igor Shparlinski

Speakers: Par Kurlberg, Florian Luca, Francesco Pappalardi, Lilian Pierce, Ronald Rietman, Peter Stevenhagen, Cameron Stewart, Konstantin Ziegler

Wednesday, 20 November 2013 and Thursday, 21 November 2013

The purpose of this two-day workshop is to bring together (analytic) number theorists and cryptographers. A good part of public-key cryptography makes use of number-theoretic concepts and algorithms. This, in turn, has led to new challenges in number theory. Some of these connections are among the topics to be discussed in the workshop.
