Information-Theoretic Cryptography Conference (original) (raw)

Information-theoretic cryptography aims at achieving security in the presence of computationally unbounded adversaries. Research on information-theoretic cryptography includes in particular:

• The design and implementation of cryptographic protocols and primitives with unconditional security guarantees.
• The usage of information-theoretic tools and techniques in achieving other forms of security, including security against computationally-bounded and quantum attackers.

ITC is a venue dedicated to serving two fundamental goals:

1. To present and disseminate research advances on all aspects of information-theoretic security.
2. To foster the creation of a community bringing together researchers from several areas, including coding theory, information theory (classical and quantum), theory of computation, privacy, and cryptography.

Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:

• Secure multi-party computation
• Information-theoretic reductions
• Information theoretic proof systems
• Idealized models (e.g.,ideal channels, random oracle, generic group model)
• Bounded storage models
• Secret sharing
• Authentication codes and non-malleable codes
• Randomness extraction and privacy amplification
• Private information retrieval and locally decodable codes
• Differential privacy
• Quantum information processing
• Information-theoretic foundations of physical-layer security

Moreover, the conference also encourages the submission of results from other fields of mathematics that are motivated by information-theoretic security.

ITC replaces the International Conference on Information Theoretic Security (ICITS), which was dedicated to the same topic and ran 2005-2017. ITC can be seen as a reboot of ICITS with a new name, a new steering committee and a renewed excitement.
