WPI Cryptography Seminar
Lattices and Cryptography
Joe Silverman
Brown University
Wednesday, March 29
1:30 pm, AK 218
(refreshments at 1:15 pm)
The problem of finding short vectors in lattices has a long history
from both a theoretical and an algorithmic perspective. Various
cryptographic systems have been proposed that are based, either
explicitly or implicitly, on this or related hard problems. I will
give an overview of the theory of lattices and lattice reduction and
will describe two lattice-based cryptosystems.

DIRECTIONS:
The WPI Cryptoseminar is being held in the Atwater Kent building on the
WPI campus. The Atwater Kent building is at the intersection of the
extension of West Street (labeled "Private Way") and Salisbury Street.
