Title: “An Introduction to Post-Quantum Lattice-Based Cryptography”
Abstract: Imagine that, few years from now, someone announces that a large-scale quantum computer has been successfully built. The next day, the New York Times claims that all the encrypted communications on the Internet are broken, and public opinion breaks into panic. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) includes all those cryptosystems that are believed to be resistant against attacks by both classical computers and quantum computers. PQC is paramount to avoid the catastrophic scenario said before. In this seminar we will introduce the most promising family of PQC, namely Lattice-Based Cryptography.
