Our traditional school will be during the first week of March again. It traditionally covers cryptography and programming languages (don’t ask me), plus a few other topics. Previously we have had such luminaries like Moni Naor, Moti Yung and Phil Rogaway from cryptography, Johan Hastad from complexity theory and Matiyasevich and Chatin from pure math.
This time the school has two younger but already very well known cryptographers, Jens Groth and Aggelos Kiayias. Jens will talk about pairing-based non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs (in my opinion, he and his coauthors caused a little revolution there a few years ago), and Aggelos will talk about cryptographic methods for digital content distribution (he’s a new book upcoming on this topic just a bit after the winter school). Other presenters include say Alan Mycroft from Cambridge.
The school is week-long, in an old manor among the forests, and yes, we usually have snow there. Please see the linked homepage of the school and please refer it to your familiar (non)graduate students! We usually have quite strong students, including a very strong bunch coming from neighbourly St Petersburg.
