Events
The Cryptography Group is involved in organizing a number of regional as well as international events.
London Crypto Day
Co-Organized by Elizabeth Quaglia and Christian Weinert
The London Crypto
Day (LCD) is an annual event - it is a day of cryptography talks in the London area. Its aim
is to attract and bring together the many talented researchers in cryptography in the area,
and to help create fruitful collaborations.
London-ish Lattice Meetings
Co-Organized by Rachel Player
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.
