Main Topics and organization

 

More than ten world-class experts will deliver a complete qualification program - set of lectures and practical workshops to cover all aspects from theory to practice. The main themes will be dedicated, but not limited to:

 

  • elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), symmetric key, lattice-based cryptography;
  • efficient arithmetic and integer factorization;
  • hash functions;
  • blind signatures and e-voting schemes;
  • secure communications;
  • personal secure devices, mobile security;
  • secure architectures, design aspects;
  • models for prevention and resilience, compliances;
  • security in the cloud;
  • services – e-government, e-payment, e-democracy, e-legislation

 

 

The program will include also several discussions on hot topics like:

 

  • Bridging theory with practice – the demands of the new digital economy and society;

    • cloud computing
    • IaaS-Paas-XaaS:  Everything as a service
    • social networks
    • mobile apps
  • Cyber-crime and prevention, Cyber-law, Cyber (Smart) -defense programs;
  • E-skills and competences for IT security practitioners

[The participants will also communicate their results and research topics]


The tutorials will give practical insight in several “how-to” areas:

  • Secure coding, anti-hacking;
  • Plan and manage organizational security and resilience;

Materials: The [MC3D] Summer School Lecture Notes will be bundled in a text book for the participants (special publication series is under consideration).

The reasonable ratio of 1:3 for theory to practice will ensure the valuable take-away for the participants, opening new research horizons and professional competences development.

The CryptoBG*2012 [MC3D]Summer School will establish and further support the research and development network in Bulgaria and the region of Eastern Europe and will help alignment to global trends and integration with world scientific and professional community.
