International School on Mathematical Cryptology and Research Seminar on Cryptology and Coding Theory

Date:	September 22-26
Location:	Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics, UPC Barcelona

Scientific coordinator: Ronald Cramer (CWI and Leiden University).

The program of the research seminar consisted of two invited talks:

• Venkatesan Guruswami (Univ. of Washington): "List error-correction: New constructions and algorithms" (abstract)
• Nigel Smart (Univ. of Bristol): "Beyond the 80 bit barrier" (abstract)

and some short talks by the Spanish Thematic Network on Mathematics for the Information Society.

The School consisted of four full-day tutorials:

• "Quantum Information Theory & Crypto" (abstract), by Serge Fehr (CWI)
• "Public key encryption from a mathematical perspective" (abstract), by Dennis Hofheinz, (CWI)
• "Algebraic Function Fields and Applications in Coding Theory" (abstract), by Alp Bassa, (EPFL)
• "Combinatorics in Cryptology - Secret Sharing Schemes and Private Information Retrieval" (abstract), by Enav Weinreb, (CWI)
