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.

Attacking the Supersingular Isogeny Problem: From the Delfs–Galbraith algorithm to oriented graphs
Orateur : Arthur Herlédan Le Merdy - COSIC, KU Leuven
The threat of quantum computers motivates the introduction of new hard problems for cryptography.One promising candidate is the Isogeny problem: given two elliptic curves, compute a “nice’’ map between them, called an isogeny.In this talk, we study classical attacks on this problem, specialised to supersingular elliptic curves, on which the security of current isogeny-based cryptography relies.
