Description:
The mathematical theory and practice of cryptography and coding underpins the provision of effective security and reliability for data communication, processing and storage. Theoretical and implementational advances in the fields of cryptography and coding are therefore a key factor in facilitating the growth of data communications and data networks of various types. Thus, this Seventh International Conference in an established and successful IMA series on the theme of "Cryptography and Coding" is both timely and relevant. A theme for this conference will be presentations on views of the future of coding and cryptography by a number of invited young researchers.

Possible topics include source coding, data compression, channel coding, error control coding, combined coding and modulation, coding for multiple-access, coding for multi-media, quantum coding, multi-functional coding, sequence design, cryptographic algorithms, public key cryptography, authentication, key management, data integrity, secure and reliable protocols, interaction between cryptography, coding, combinatorics and other relevant topics.
