Conference: Tenth International Conference on
Security, Privacy and Applied Cryptographic Engineering (SPACE 2020)

Date: December 17, 2020 -- December 20, 2020

Abstract : This tutorial will cover implementation aspects of public-key schemes with special focus on modern, post-quantum protocols that are believed to be secure against classical and quantum computer attacks. We plan to describe algorithmic as well as software related aspects for the secure and efficient implementation of the underlying field arithmetic and curve operations that are the basis of elliptic curve-based schemes and the more recent isogeny-based schemes. Time permitting, we also plan to cover some of the building blocks of lattice-based schemes.

Biography: Dr. Patrick Longa is a senior cryptography researcher with the MSR Security and Cryptography group at Microsoft Research, USA. He is co-designer of several cryptographic primitives and protocols including FourQ, SIKE and FrodoKEM, and has written numerous high-performance cryptographic libraries such as FourQlib and SIDH. His research interests mainly involve post-quantum and elliptic curve cryptography, cryptanalysis, algorithmic design and high-performance implementation of cryptographic primitives. Patrick obtained his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada, in 2011. During his time at Waterloo, he was a member of the Centre for Applied Cryptographic Research (CACR) and the Laboratory for Side-Channel Security of Embedded Systems. He was awarded with the NSERC Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholarship. For more information visit https://www.patricklonga.com/.
