In this school we will focus on two branches of blockchain technology. First, the development of blockchain technology including subjects such as the tokening of activities, fintech, proptech, insurtech, e-health, eGovernment, supply chain and social services, among other things.
We will also be dealing with the security issues behind this technology, more specifically the mathematical knowledge and cryptography in modular arithmetic as well as elliptic curve cryptography. We will give a scratch lecture in the mathematics needed and then focus on the cryptographical aspects related with blockchain.
Before the school, we will give preliminary lectures (essentially a popularization part, a cryptography part, an algorithmic and a distributed computing part). The pre-school will take place in Antsiranana a priori for local participants but we will set up a retransmission so that those who wish it can follow virtually these courses.
The school is aimed to make the participants potential contributors to a blockchain society.
The participants as well as the foreign speakers (coming from outside Madagascar and from other cities outside Antsiranana) will be accommodated in hotels. The hotels located in the centre of the city are about 15 minutes (walking distance) from the School Site. Lunches will be offered on the school’s site.
