<br>
This workshop is a forum of mathematicians, computer scientists,<br>
engineers and physicists performing research on finite field<br>
arithmetic, interested in communicating the advances in the
theory,<br>
applications, and implementations of finite fields. The workshop
will<br>
help to bridge the gap between the mathematical theory of finite<br>
fields and their hardware/software implementations and technical<br>
applications.<br>
<br>
<br>
Main Workshop Themes<br>
<br>
The topics of WAIFI 2012 include but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
*<br>
<br>
Theory of finite field arithmetic:<br>
<br>
o Bases (canonical, normal, dual, weakly dual,
triangular ...)<br>
o Polynomial factorization, irreducible polynomials<br>
o Primitive elements<br>
o Prime fields, binary fields, extension fields,
composite<br>
fields, tower fields ...<br>
o Elliptic and Hyperelliptic curves<br>
*<br>
<br>
Hardware/Software implementation of finite field arithmetic:<br>
<br>
o Optimal arithmetic modules<br>
o Design and implementation of finite field arithmetic<br>
processors<br>
o Design and implementation of arithmetic algorithms<br>
o Pseudorandom number generators<br>
o Hardware/Software Co-design<br>
o IP (Intellectual Property) components<br>
o Field programmable and reconfigurable systems<br>
*<br>
<br>
Applications:<br>
<br>
o Cryptography<br>
