Full Description:: The 9th annual AMSI Winter School entitled Contemporary Aspects of Cryptography will run from 7 to 18 July 2014.

Cryptography is the practice and study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of third parties; that is, making codes and breaking codes. Historically, cryptography has effectively been synonymous with encryption and decryption. Modern cryptography involves sometimes surprising intersections of mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering.

7 reasons to attend:

- Hear from eminent national and international lecturers
- Discover contemporary cryptography and its modern applications
- Learn mathematical tools and techniques used in research
- Uncover the link with mathematics, computer science and electrical engineering
- Understand key aspects of current cryptography research
- Build collaborative networks with PhD students and early career researchers
- Expand your skills in the mathematical sciences

Who should attend:

Students, researchers and employees focusing on

- cryptography,
- related areas of mathematics, or
