Summer Program: Coding and Cryptography

Week 1

Codes, Design, and Cryptography

July 6-10, 1998

This part of the program will concentrate on finite geometries, designs, secret sharing schemes, schemes to detect deception and authentication, secret broadcasting schemes, and the construction of cryptographic schemes related to discrete objects. Both finite geometries and more generally combinatorial designs have been used in the analysis and construction of error correcting codes and secret sharing schemes. These uses will be explored to see if they can be utilized in other areas.
