Abstract:

Combinatorics has been playing an active role in cryptography, from the designs of cryptographic constructions, security proofs to cryptanalysis.Combinatorial cryptography refers to a sub-field of cryptography where combinatorics and cryptography are interacted significantly. In this talk, I will present several concrete examples to illustrate how combinatorial objects and techniques are applied to the constructions of cryptographic schemes such as in secret sharing, threshold cryptography and secure multiparty computation.
