Tutorial Workshop on

Many Facets of Cryptology

Jointly Organized by

Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Jadavpur University

and

Centre of Excellence in Cryptology, Indian Statistical Institute

Cryptology is the art and science of hiding information. The subject dates back to thousands of years. Historically, the main purpose of cryptology has been confidentiality, i.e., a sender and receiver would communicate over a public channel in such a way that no eavesdropper can decipher the meaning of the message. However, as human beings have evolved from ancient stone age into modern digital age, newer usages and utilities of cryptology have been discovered. Now-a-days, cryptology is prevalent in every sphere of life, e.g., mobile communications, e-commerce, netbanking, paid television channels, copy protection, identity verification etc., only to name a few. In this tutorial workshop, we plan to peep into the many facets of this fascinating subject and reveal the mathematical and computational underpinnings that lay its foundations.
