Several PROMETHEUS members are currently at the Simons Institute of Berkeley - University of California. Five thematic workshops are scheduled:
Lattices: Algorithms, Complexity, and Cryptography Boot Camp
Jan. 21 – Jan. 24, 2020
Lattices: Geometry, Algorithms and Hardness
Feb. 18 – Feb. 21, 2020
Quantum Cryptanalysis of Post-Quantum Cryptography
Feb. 22 – Feb. 24, 2020
Lattices: New Cryptographic Capabilities
Mar. 23 – Mar. 26, 2020
Lattices: From Theory to Practice
Apr. 27 – May 1, 2020
The goal of this program is to bring together experts in these areas in order to attack some of the main outstanding open questions, and to discover new connections between lattices, computer science, and mathematics. The need to thoroughly understand the computational landscape and cryptographic capabilities of lattice problems is greater now than ever, given the possibility that secure communication on the internet and secure collaboration on the cloud might soon be powered by lattices.
