Lattice-based approaches are emerging as a common theme in modern cryptography and coding theory. In communications, they are indispensable mathematical tools to construct powerful error-correction codes achieving the capacity of wireless channels. In cryptography, they are used to building lattice-based schemes with provable security, better asymptotic efficiency, resilience against quantum attacks and new functionalities such as fully homomorphic encryption.
These meetings are inspired by similar meetings held in Lyon and are aimed at connecting the two communities in the UK with a common interest in lattices, with a long-term goal of building a synergy of the two fields.
The London-ish Lattice Coding & Crypto meetings are organised by Martin Albrecht and Cong Ling. If you have any queries, please get in touch with either or both organisers.
There is also an announcement mailing list.
