WAIFI 2016 - 2016 International Workshop on the Arithmetic of Finite Fields 2016

This workshop is a forum of mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers and physicists performing research on finite field arithmetic, interested in communicating the advances in the theory, applications, and implementations of finite fields. The workshop will help to bridge the gap between the mathematical theory of finite fields and their hardware/software implementations and technical applications.
WAIFI 2016 will take place from July 13--15, 2016, at Ghent University's congress centre Het Pand, Ghent, Belgium. The local host is the Department of Mathematics of Ghent University.
The topics of WAIFI 2016 include but are not limited to:
Theory of finite field arithmetic:
Bases (canonical, normal, dual, weakly dual, triangular ...)
Polynomial factorization, irreducible polynomials
Primitive elements
Prime fields, binary fields, extension fields, composite fields, tower fields ...
Elliptic and Hyperelliptic curves
Hardware/Software implementation of finite field arithmetic:
Optimal arithmetic modules
Design and implementation of finite field arithmetic processors
Design and implementation of arithmetic algorithms
Pseudorandom number generators
Hardware/Software Co-design
IP (Intellectual Property) components
Field programmable and reconfigurable systems
Applications:
Cryptography
Communication systems
Error correcting codes
Finite geometry
Quantum computing
Registration
The registration for the conference will be opened very soon. The total cost, including conference dinner, will be 150 euro.
