[HGI-news-int] WAIFI: workshop on the arithmetic of finite fields (and applications)

[English Newsletter of the Horst Goertz Institute of IT Security in Bochum]

      call for papers: deadline 27th February 2012


      WAIFI 2012. Bochum, Germany. July 16-19, 2012

This workshop is a forum of mathematicians, computer scientists,
engineers and physicists performing research on finite field arithmetic,
interested in communicating the advances in the theory, applications,
and implementations of finite fields. The workshop will help to bridge
the gap between the mathematical theory of finite fields and their
hardware/software implementations and technical applications.


      Main Workshop Themes

The topics of WAIFI 2012 include but are not limited to:

    *

      Theory of finite field arithmetic:

          o Bases (canonical, normal, dual, weakly dual, triangular ...)
          o Polynomial factorization, irreducible polynomials
          o Primitive elements
          o Prime fields, binary fields, extension fields, composite
            fields, tower fields ...
          o Elliptic and Hyperelliptic curves
    *

      Hardware/Software implementation of finite field arithmetic:

          o Optimal arithmetic modules
          o Design and implementation of finite field arithmetic processors
          o Design and implementation of arithmetic algorithms
          o Pseudorandom number generators
          o Hardware/Software Co-design
          o IP (Intellectual Property) components
          o Field programmable and reconfigurable systems
    *

      Applications:

          o Cryptography
          o Communication systems
          o Error correcting codes
          o Quantum computing
