Description
This workshop will focus on number-theoretic aspects of cryptography, and will be cross-cultural, where the the cultures in question are "mathematics" and "computer science." We will be sufficiently flexible to accommodate anything exciting that arises through the fall of 2000, so any plans are tentative. We will have several survey talks on the state of the art of such central topics to number theory in cryptography as integer factorization discrete logarithm algorithms elliptic curves From the computer science side, we will survey positive applications of lattices to cryptography lattice basis reduction techniques for cryptanalysis "new" number-theoretic assumptions in vogue in 2000 A final survey talk will discuss two historical tracks that met in 1998: practical cryptosystems (RSA, El-Gamal, OAEP, and Cramer-Shoup), and the theory that lead to increasingly stronger notions of security and cryptosystems satisfying these notions (Goldwasser and Micali's construction for semantic security, Naor and Yung's construction for chosen-ciphertext security in the pre-processing mode, Dolev, Dwork and Naor's construction for non-malleability against chosen-ciphertext in the post-processing mode, and Cramer-Shoup's efficient non-malleable cca-post construction).

Show Funding

To apply for funding, you must register by the funding application deadline displayed above.

Students, recent Ph.D.'s, women, and members of underrepresented minorities are particularly encouraged to apply. Funding awards are typically made 6 weeks before the workshop begins. Requests received after the funding deadline are considered only if additional funds become available.

Show Lodging

MSRI does not hire an outside company to make hotel reservations for our workshop participants, or share the names and email addresses of our participants with an outside party. If you are contacted by a business that claims to represent MSRI and offers to book a hotel room for you, it is likely a scam. Please do not accept their services.

MSRI has preferred rates at the Hotel Shattuck Plaza, depending on room availability. Guests can call the hotel's main line at 510-845-7300 and ask for the MSRI- Mathematical Science Research Institute discount. To book online visit this page (the MSRI rate will automatically be applied).

MSRI has preferred rates at the Graduate Berkeley, depending on room availability. Reservations may be made by calling 510-845-8981. When making reservations, guests must request the MSRI preferred rate. Enter in the Promo Code MSRI123 (this code is not case sensitive).

MSRI has preferred rates at the Berkeley Lab Guest House, depending on room availability. Reservations may be made by calling 510-495-8000 or directly on their website. Select "Affiliated with the Space Sciences Lab, Lawrence Hall of Science or MSRI." When prompted for your UC Contact/Host, please list Chris Marshall (coord@msri.org).

MSRI has a preferred rates at Easton Hall and Gibbs Hall, depending on room availability. Guests can call the Reservations line at 510-204-0732 and ask for the MSRI- Mathematical Science Research Inst. rate.
