Workshop Description

The goal of the workshop series is to enable an informal discussion forum in order to exchange opinions on issues associated with the design, implementation, and use of commercial cryptography and secure computation.

Building on the International View of the State-of-the-Art of Cryptography and Security and its Use in Practice workshops in Dagstuhl in 2011, Beijing in 2012 Athens and Bangalore in 2013 and Copenhagen in 2014, we will meet again in Taiwan following AsiaCrypt 2014 to bring together researchers from Europe, Asia, and North America from industry, academia, and government.

The one day workshop in Taiwan will discuss directions and developments in theoretical and applied cryptography and surrounding societal and regulatory issues.

Based on suggestions after the workshop in Copenhagen at Eurocrypt 2014, we will be covering the following areas:

• Real-life cryptography and implementation issues
• Post-quantum cryptography
• Lightweight cryptography
• Policy, regulatory, and cryptography usage environment
• Innovative use cases and ideas for cryptography

As always, we invite the attendees to send topics of interest to them and proposals for talks and/or discussions prior to the workshop. On December 12^th, we will follow the format we used for the last three workshops: the focus areas will be anchored by an invited talk and/or panel of short talks, and the emphasis will be on discussion and exchange of opinions.

In addition to technical and societal topics, we will touch upon projects in different countries, in order to increase awareness of the R&D activities internationally and continue to build a community of research and practice to generate new ideas in this field.
