Description
A family of subsets is r-cover-free, if no set is covered by the union of r others. These families were introduced in coding theory by Kautz and Singleton (disjunctive codes, superimposed codes) in early sixties.<br/> Variants of these codes were later investigated by Erdos, Frankl and Furedi, Alon and Asodi, Szegedy and Vishvanathan, just to mention a few. These codes are useful in circuit complexity, mobile computing, in the theory of multiple access channels and many other branches of mathematics and computer science. Moreover, they led to the first counter-example for an old conjecture of Grunbaum on point sets in R^n without obtuse triangles.<br/> In this talk we will discuss old and new results on bounds of these codes and their relevance in computer science and pure mathematics.

CryptoVerif: a computationally-sound security protocol verifier
Speaker : Bruno Blanchet - Inria
CryptoVerif is a security protocol verifier sound in the computational model of cryptography. It produces proofs by sequences of games, like those done manually by cryptographers. It has an automatic proof strategy and can also be guided by the user. It provides a generic method for specifying security assumptions on many cryptographic primitives, and can prove secrecy, authentication, and[…]-
