Presentation of the seminar

• About cryptography

  Scientists welcome the renewed interest and original insight that cryptography brings to their disciplines, as well as the intellectual challenges posed to them.

  Multidisciplinary par excellence, cryptography constitutes a point of contact between number theory, algebraic geometry, algorithms and computer science. It brings whole sections of the most fundamental mathematics into contact with applications of great practical importance.
