Organizers: Nigel Boston, Dick Blahut
Description:
The second Midwest Arithmetical Geometry in Cryptography (MAGC) workshop is intended for people in academia and
industry with a basic mathematical background in group theory and number theory, wishing to learn about the increasingly common
applications of arithmetical geometry to cryptography. This includes elliptic curve cryptosystems, hyperelliptic cryptosystems, and
more. This workshop is supported by a Critical Research Initiatives grant from UIUC and by the Coordinated Science Laboratory and
marks the creation of ICCIP, the Illinois Center for Cryptography and Information Protection.
Each of the featured speakers will give one lecture a day for each of the three days of the workshop. These nine lectures will be coordinated so as to introduce the audience to the subject, explain the various attacks on various cryptosystems, discuss practical items necessary for successful implementations, and talk about what the future might hold. There will also be time for contributed talks.
