The Selected Areas in Cryptography (SAC) conference will be held at the University of Waterloo from August 14-16, 2019. The conference co-chairs are Kenneth Paterson (University of London/ETH Zurich) and C&O professor Douglas Stebila.
SAC has been held annually since 1994 in several Canadian cities. The topics for SAC 2019 are:
-
Design and analysis of symmetric key primitives and cryptosystems, including block and stream ciphers, hash functions, MAC algorithms, and authenticated encryption schemes.
-
Efficient implementations of symmetric and public key algorithms.
-
Mathematical and algorithmic aspects of applied cryptology.
-
Real-world cryptography/cryptographic protocols in practice.
The conference will be preceded by a Summer School on August 12-13.
