Résumé: Among the exciting new directions in cryptography that this one-week workshop will attempt to touch upon are the following: proliferating hardness assumptions and protocols in pairing-based cryptography; provable security and the random oracle model in theory and practice; design and selection of new cryptographic hash functions; new security models for deterministic encryption and searchable encryption; new number theoretic constructs in cryptography such as expander graphs, lattice-based systems, elliptic divisibility sequences, etc.; the trade-off between security and privacy in emerging applications such as cloud storage; new applications of pairings to areas such as e-cash and Attribute Based Encryption.

Résumé: Building a solid mathematical foundation for the use of infinite groups in cryptography inevitably involves operating with various asymptotic and statistical aspects of infinite groups, and this is where modern group theory finds its important applications. We plan to invite specialists in group and number theory, computer science, and cryptography.
