Description
A Fountain code is a code of fixed dimension and a limitless block-length. This is a new class of codes with very interesting applications. In this talk I will show how Fountain codes can be applied to the problem of reliable, robust, and speedy transmission of data over a heterogeneous network from one or multiple transmitters to one or multiple receivers. I will then talk about applications to the design of reliable end-to-end data transmission systems in unreliable unicast, multicast, or even peer-to-peer networks. In the last part of the talk I will introduce two classes of probabilistic Fountain codes that are used in commercial systems today. These codes, called LT- and Raptor codes, have very efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. I will introduce the mathematical theory of these codes and give some insights into their design.

Encryption homomorphe sans bruit à l'aide de groupes
Speaker : Pierre Guillot - Ravel Technologies (dispo Université de Strasbourg, IRMA)
Je vais rappeler les travaux de Nuida et Ostrovski sur l'utilisation des groupes pour l'élaboration de schémas cryptographiques homomorphes. Je vais présenter nos travaux qui fournissent des encodages à la fois plus efficaces et plus généraux, et qui déterminent exactement quels groupes peuvent être utilisés. Puis je vais discuter GRAFHEN, un protocole qui utilise ces idées. Je dirai juste[…]-
