CFP: First International Conference on Symbolic Computation and Cryptography
I was asked to forward this announcement a while ago and finally get around to do so:
“SCC 2008 is the first of a new series of conferences where research and development in symbolic computation and cryptography may be presented and discussed. It is organized in response to the growing interest in applying and developing methods, techniques, and software tools of symbolic computation for cryptography. The use of lattice reduction algorithms in cryptology and the application of Groebner bases in the context of algebraic attacks are typical examples of explored applications.
SCC 2008 aims at providing an interactive forum for interested
researchers to exchange ideas and views, to present research results and
progress, and to learn and discuss recent developments and emerging problems on
- the design, modeling, and analysis of cryptographic systems and protocols for which symbolic computation may be used or needed, and
- the design, implementation, and analysis of algorithms and software
- tools of symbolic computation that may have potential applications in cryptography.
TOPICS
Specific topics for SCC 2008 include, but are not limited to:
- Multivariate cryptography, braid group cryptography, noncommutative cryptography, and quantum cryptography
- Code-based, factorization-based, and lattice-based cryptography
- Algebraic attacks for block ciphers, stream ciphers, and hash functions
- Design and analysis of algebraic, elliptic, and embedded cryptographic systems and protocols
- Groebner basis techniques in cryptology, algebraic number theory, and coding theory
- Triangular sets and new techniques for solving algebraic systems over finite fields
- Algorithms and software for symbolic computation in cryptography
