[Cryptography] CRYPTACUS 2018: Call for participation

[Ricardo Chaves]

                    CRYPTACUS 2018 Call for participation
                            Training School on
              Cryptanalysis of Ubiquitous Computing Systems
                             Azores, Portugal
                 Monday April 16 - Friday April 20, 2018
              Organized by the CRYPTACUS COST Action (IC1403)
             https://www.cryptacus.eu/en/events/training-school-2018/
                         *Grants still available*

Recent technological advances in hardware and software have irrevocably 
affected the classical picture of computing systems. Today, these no 
longer consist only of connected servers, but involve a wide range of 
pervasive and embedded devices, leading to the concept of "ubiquitous 
computing systems". To improve the security of these systems the 
existent cryptanalysis methodologies and tools need to be improved and 
adapted.
This training school will focus on the assessment of theoretical and 
practical cryptographic mechanisms designed to ensure security and 
privacy, within four main axes:
•	cryptographic models;
•	cryptanalysis of building blocks;
•	hardware and software security engineering;
•	and security assessment of real-world systems.

The training School will take place in the São Miguel island, Azores, 
Portugal.
This training school aims at providing theoretical and practical 
lectures on topics related to security and cryptanalysis of ubiquitous 
computing systems. This training school is organized in the framework of 
the COST Action IC1403 – CRYPTACUS.

Registration
------------
The registration fee includes access to lectures, practical sessions and 
PhD session. It also includes lunches and coffee breaks for April 16-20 
as well as access to the social events and the gala dinner.
- Early registration: 350€ (deadline is March 15th, 2018)
- Late registration: 450€

*Grants*
------------------
Several grants are available to cover the registration fee, housing 
costs, and local traveling costs (see below) in the amount of €550. 
These grants will be assigned in a first request first assigned rule, 
considering a balanced distribution between gender, countries and 
institutions.
Stipends will only be assigned to participants belonging to a COST 
Member State or Cooperating State (see 
http://www.cost.eu/about_cost/cost_member_states), which includes 37 
countries.

Students receiving grants must submit a short (4 pages) paper describing 
ongoing research for the PhD Session.

PhD Session
--------------
The PhD session, with lightning session and poster sessions, will 
provide an ideal opportunity for students to present their ongoing work 
and get feedback from senior researchers and fellow students.

Attendance Certificate
-----------
All participants will receive a certificate of attendance with a 
description of the courses taken. Some universities will accept this 
certificate in their PhD program.
