Lattices: algorithms and cryptography (LattAC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Contemporary cryptography, with security relying on the factorisation and discrete logarithm problems, is ill-prepared for the future: It will collapse with the rise of quantum computers, its costly algorithms require growing resources, and it is utterly ill-fitted for the fast-developing trend of externalising computations to the cloud. The emerging field of *lattice-based cryptography* (LBC) ad ...
