I had the incredible opportunity to attend the IHP Trimester on Post-Quantum Algebraic Cryptography, held at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris from September 9 to November 10, 2024. Being selected as one of only three laureates worldwide to receive full financial support for this prestigious program was a true honor.
Thanks to the support from the Institut Henri Poincaré and the CIMPA-CARMIN program (Centre International de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées), my travel, accommodation, and living expenses were fully covered. This generous support allowed me to focus entirely on the rich academic experience.
Throughout the trimester, I participated in several engaging events, including:
Introductory Summer School at IES in Cargèse, Corsica (September 9-13, 2024)
Workshop on the Deployment of Post-Quantum Cryptography at IHP, Paris (October 7-11, 2024)
Workshop on Emerging Topics in the Design and Cryptanalysis of Post-Quantum Schemes at IHP, Paris (November 4-8, 2024)
In addition to the IHP trimester, I also had the pleasure of attending:
Real World Cryptography Paris Meetup 2 (October 16, 2024)
IRIF visit with Geoffroy Couteau (October 23-25, 2024)
This experience was transformative, allowing me to immerse myself in the forefront of post-quantum cryptography research alongside world-renowned experts. As a Ph.D. student at Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad, I was thrilled to share and discuss my research on Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC), and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) in such a vibrant and collaborative environment.
