The Center for Cryptography and Distributed Systems launches its first academic seminar, jointly organized with the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires, with the collaboration of LambdaClass.
The seminar covers three areas of modern cryptography at the core of current research in verifiable proof systems: coding theory, low-degree testing, and PIOPs (Polynomial Interactive Oracle Proofs). These are the mathematical foundations on which techniques such as zero-knowledge proofs are built, relevant both for theoretical research and for the development of secure distributed infrastructure.
Instructor: Manuel Puebla.
Format
The seminar is in-person, with biweekly sessions of two and a half hours each. The dates are:
- May 21
- June 4
- June 18
- July 2
The venues will rotate between the Faculty of Engineering (UBA), the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences (UBA), and LambdaClass.
Registration
Registration is through a pre-registration and selection process. Selected participants will be contacted to proceed with formal enrollment.
