Foundations and Applications of Lattice-based Cryptography

 25 - 28 Jul 2022

  • Rachel Player, Royal Holloway University of London
  • Joe Rowell, Royal Holloway University of London

About:

Lattice-based cryptography is a highly relevant application area of mathematics, and a thriving area of cryptographic research in the UK. Its worldwide importance as a branch of post-quantum cryptography is evidenced by the number of lattice-based proposals currently being considered for standardisation by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

This workshop brought together lattice researchers in the UK and Europe and facilitated community building, especially among PhD students and ECRs. The content that was presented is published online as a lasting resource. The ultimate objective of the workshop was to have a significant long-term effect on research in lattice-based cryptography by encouraging connections and creating resources for researchers.
