Co-located with the CIFRIS24 conference
Rome, Italy, September 25-27, 2024
Scope & Topics
Topics in Applied Cryptography 2024 (TAC2024) is a workshop dedicated to cryptography with a specific application, scenario and/or technology in mind, including performance evaluation, libraries and implementation issues, hardware and IoT, attacks and vulnerabilities, and requirements for unusual application scenarios; purely theoretical results are out of scope. Topics of interest include privacy enhancing cryptography, homomorphic encryption, secure multi-party computation, quantum key distribution, and quantum-safe cryptography.
Acknowledgements
The workshop is developed within the SEcurity and RIghts in the CyberSpace (SERICS) foundation framework (https://serics.eu/). The Foundation’s main purpose is scientific and technological research and, in this perspective, it is established to be the implementing entity of the extended Partnership “SERICS - Security and Rights in CyberSpace” financed following the participation in the Public Notice “for the presentation of Proposals for the creation of “Partnerships extended to universities research centers, companies for the funding of basic research projects” - as part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, Mission 4 “Education and Research” - Component 2 “From Research to Enterprise” - Investment 1. 3, funded by the European Union - NextGenerationEU - Notice No. 341 of 15.3.2022.

Transparency, Trust, and Accountability Abstract: transparency logs (tlogs) are a powerful tool that makes it possible to bring accountability where it is unpractical to improve trust. In this talk, we'll discuss their mechanism, practical instantiation, and applications. Filippo Valsorda (full-time independent open source maintainer) |
