Curves, Coding Theory, And Cryptography

Convened by: David Kohel (FR), Gilles Lachaud (FR), Christophe Ritzenthaler (FR)

Location: 25-29 March 2009, Marseille, France

Keywords

arithmetic of curves; cryptography; coding theory

Summary

Algebraic curves entered into coding theory in the 1980's with Goppa's introduction of algebraic geometric codes. The proposal of elliptic curves for use in cryptography by Koblitz and Miller in 1985 culminated new elliptic curve-based cryptographic U.S. government standards in 2005. This workshop will unite researchers actively working on the computational aspects of curves, in order to explore interdisciplinary research and applications to coding theory and cryptography.
