Introduction

The venue has changed!



The ECRYPT-NET project organizes a school on correct and secure implementations. The school will be held from 8-12 October 2017 in Porto Platanias Beach Resort & Spa 5*, Plataniás, Chaniá, Crete, Greece. The school will run from Monday morning till early afternoon on Wednesday and is followed by presentations by the ECRYPT-NET fellows.

This school exposes the participants to side-channel attacks, fault attacks and bug attacks that are an effective method to break most currently fielded implementations of cryptography. Learning targets are how to engineer correct and secure implementations of existing cryptosystems and understanding how different design choices in cryptosystems can facilitate, or complicate, secure implementations.

This school is co-hosted with the ECRYPT CSA Workshop on Symmetric Crypto designed for side channel and fault resistance (12-13 October).
