Description:
(TOP)
The
Workshop will be held at the University of Wyoming in
Laramie, Wyoming, under the auspices of the Rocky Mountain
Consortium and the Fields Institute. This summer school is
also supported in part by the Informatics Circle of Research
(iCORE) and the Institute for Mathematics and its
Application (IMA) through its Participating Institution (PI)
Program. PI members may use IMA/PI funds to support travel
of their personnel to this conference.
The purpose of
this summer school is to bring student participants up to
speed on the most recent developments in mathematical
cryptography. Early registration is suggested since
space is limited this year. In addition to the lectures, the
conference will consist of student projects, group
discussions, question and answer times, problem sessions and
workshop periods.
The summer school will take place
immediately before the Fall 2006 Fields Institute
Thematic Program in Cryptography.
A related program takes place at IPAM, on the topic of "Securing
Cyberspace."
This
three-week Summer School will introduce the participants to
the theory and applications of computational number theory
and its consequences for cryptography. Topics include:
-
Arithmetic of algebraic number fields and algebraic
function fields.
-
Primality and integer factorization.
-
Discrete logarithm: Pollard rho, Pollard kangaroo, index
calculus.
-
Public key cryptography
-
Elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC)
-
Hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems (HCC)
-
Pairings
-
Computational complexity
-
Multivariate Public-Key Cryptosystems
-
Lattices and lattice-based cryptosystems
Prerequisites
(TOP)
Undergraduate courses in algebra or number theory. A
graduate course in Algebra or number theory would be very
helpful, but not necessary.

International Airport to Laramie, Wyoming for the 2006
IMA/RMMC Conference
Laramie is located 130 miles
north of Denver, Colorado, 60 miles north of Fort Collins,
Colorado and 45 miles west of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Denver
International Airport (DIA) is the major airport serving
Wyoming.
Participants can
book a flight to Laramie from Denver; however flights are
limited into Laramie. The following are the flight times
from DIA to Laramie (via Great Lakes Aviation). We recommend
flying to Laramie as the best option and there is free
pickup by University staff for transportation to the
residence halls. Reservations for this service must be made
with Mr. Terry Shearin at:

A bus
shuttle, Shamrock Airport Express provides
transportation from DIA to Cheyenne, Wyoming. A
schedule of Shamrock Airport Express is available at
www.rideshamrock.com. The one-way fee is
$34.00. The University of Wyoming Math Department
will provide a shuttle from Cheyenne to Laramie.
Participants should take the shuttle from DIA to the
Hitching Post in Cheyenne.
There will
be no transportation from Cheyenne on Saturday, June
17th. (Except in emergencies—contact
Terry Shearin @ (307) 399-2399) On Sunday, June 18th
there will be three shuttles: 4:30 P.M, 7:30 P.M and
9:30 P.M. The round-trip fee for this shuttle is
$25.00 and must be paid in advance. Send check or
money order made out to RMMC to Terry Shearin by May
1, 2006. Math Department staff will be wearing
University of Wyoming t-shirts and driving a
University of Wyoming van.
Participants
may prefer to rent a car at DIA. The most direct
route to Laramie from DIA is U.S. Interstate 25 (I-25)
north to Cheyenne, WY. From there take I-80
west to Laramie. Maps of the University can be found
at:
http://uwadmnweb.uwyo.edu/uw/visitors
.
There
are flights from Denver to Cheyenne, however
there is no shuttle service from Cheyenne
airport to Laramie so participants would be on
their own finding transportation from Cheyenne
to Laramie.
Return
shuttles from Laramie to Cheyenne will be at the
following times. On Friday July 7th
there will be three shuttles at 9:30 A.M, 12:30
P.M. and 3:30 P.M. On Saturday July 8th
there will be one shuttle at 4:40 AM. The
conference ends at 11:00 A.M. on July 7th.
Remember
that reservations must be made with Shamrock Airport
between Cheyenne and DIA and that reservations and
prepayment must be made with Terry Shearin for the
shuttle between Cheyenne and Laramie.
Please
contact Terry Shearin (ashearin@uwyo.edu
or 307-766-4222) and not Professor Andreas Stein
with any questions about transportation to Laramie. |
