LATTICE-BASED CRYPTOGRAPHY AND APPLICATIONS
FEBRUARY 19-22, 2012
SCHOOL OVERVIEW
The winter school will provide an in depth coverage of lattices and their role in cryptographic constructions. Among other things, we will study the basics of lattices, hard problems on lattices and advanced reductions between problems. In addition, we will study cryptographic constructions based on lattices. These will include encryption, interactive protocols, advanced encryption (identity based and others), and finally recent advances in fully homomorphic encryption. The school program includes approximately 20 hours of lectures, a social dinner and an excursion.

The target audience for the school is graduate students and postdocs in cryptography (we will assume background in cryptography, but not lattices). However, faculty, undergrads and professionals with the necessary background are all welcome. The winter school is open to participants from all over the world; all talks will be in English.
SCHOOL LECTURERS
- Craig Gentry (IBM T.J.Watson Research Center),
- Vadim Lyubashevsky (INRIA / ENS, Paris),
- Chris Peikert (Georgia Institute of Technology),
- Oded Regev (CNRS-ENS-Paris and Tel Aviv University).
Organizers: Yehuda Lindell and Claudio Orlandi, Department of Computer Science, Bar Ilan University, Israel
Where: The winter school will take place in the Auditorium 63 at the Jim Joseph Education Building (Bldg. 905) Bar Ilan University.
When: Sunday 19/02/2012 to Wednesday 22/02/2012
Registration (no longer possible): Participation is free, but registration is required. Registration includes school participation, lunch and refreshment, a social event, and transportation to and from the school hotel. (Accommodation is not included). Some practical informations for the participants are available here.
Hotel: We have arranged a special rate at the Kfar Hamaccabia hotel, near the university. The rate is $130 a night for a single room and $150 a night for a twin room. The rate includes breakfast. Please send your hotel requirements together with your registration information.
Support: A limited number of stipends of $800 each (for flight and accommodation) has been awarded for overseas students needing support. The deadline for stipend application was 15/12/2012.
Sponsorship: This winter school is graciously sponsored by the European Research Council, The Check Point Institute for Information Security and Bar-Ilan University.
