International Workshop on Coding and Cryptography

January 8-12, 2001, Paris, France
First Announcement and Call For Papers

The workshop is organized by INRIA and sponsored by the ``Ecoles de Coëtquidan''. It will be held, as WCC'99, at the ``Cercle Militaire'' - a high standard hotel located in the heart of Paris - from January 8 to 12, 2001.

Conference Themes

Our aim is to bring together researchers in all aspects of coding theory, cryptography and related areas, theoretical or applied.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

coding theory: block codes (linear or nonlinear), cyclic codes, spherical codes, algebraic geometry codes, quantum codes, codes over rings, association schemes, covering radius, weight distributions, soft decision decoding; convolutional codes, turbo coding, soft output decoding;
cryptology: block and stream ciphers, hash functions, public key cryptography, digital signature, secret sharing, authentication, protocols, cryptanalysis, copyright protection;
connections between these two main areas, including, Boolean functions, sequences, finite groups, finite fields, algebraic geometry, function fields, random structures, lattices, combinatorics, designs, Shannon theory.

Submissions

Those wishing to contribute a 20 minute talk are invited to submit a 6-10 page extended abstract, before September 15, 2000, by sending an electronic copy (Postscript, PDF or LaTeX, see instructions to authors). If electronic submission is impossible, you may submit instead three hard copies to
