Announcement

The mathematical theory and practice of cryptography and coding theory underpins the provision of effective security and reliability for data communication, processing and storage. Theoretical and practical advances in the fields of cryptography and coding theory are therefore a key factor in facilitating the growth of data communications and data networks of various types. Thus, this Twelfth International Conference in an established and successful IMA series on the theme of "Cryptography and Coding" is both timely and relevant.


Invited Speakers (confirmed)
