They run three conferences a year; Crypto (In the United States), EuroCrypt and AsiaCrypt.
Can you tell us a little background on EuroCrypt and what we can expect from the conference?
This will be the 37th annual EuroCrypt and the first time it is being held in Israel.
It is an academic conference that covers all aspects of cryptography.
Back in the 1980s the focus was on digital cache.
Zero-knowledge proofs were discussed in the 80s and 90s.
There were discussions about encryption and cryptanalysis.
Weve become a meeting point for cryptographers.
Youll need more then just a background knowledge on these topics.
What is the focus of the conference?
This is a purely academic conference.
Weve received 69 research papers that cover all the bases in cutting-edge cryptography.
Of course, Blockchain technology and how to improve it and what other applications can it be used for.
This is a conference for people who want to hear about the cutting edge of cryptography.
For example, weve been discussing Post-Quantum Cryptography for the past 3 years, in a very excessive manner.
So, we can see where the committee is heading, and what our focus is.
There will be a session about TOR and anonymous connections.
Again, it will be from a technical angle looking at cryptographic details on the Onion encryption.
Can you tell us a little bit about the structure of the conference?
The second speech will be given Anne Canteaut titled Desperately Seeking SBoxes.
This session is less formal than the presentations and allows for back and forth discussions.
In the past there has even been some singing and dancing at the Rump sessions.
It is the unwinding opportunities for the attendees.
As mentioned earlier there will be two workshops that people can register for before the event.
It will cover topics such as Spectre and Meltdown and encryption laws.
These workshops are less formal and allow for people to interact and argue back and forth with the presenters.
