PQCifris 2022
School & Workshop on Post-Quantum Cryptography

Trento, 10-14 October 2022

Post-quantum cryptography is an emerging and fundamental branch of cryptography dealing with public-key schemes designed to resist against attackers using quantum computers. The most affirmed post-quantum schemes rely on computational problems believed to be hard even if approached through quantum algorithms: among others, they include problems arising from algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, coding theory, and lattice theory. 

PQCifris 2022 aims at bringing together students and researchers interested in post-quantum cryptography, introducing the topic, and offering the opportunity to present and discuss recent advances in the current research.
