Algorithmic and Mathematical Cryptology (AlmaCrypt)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Cryptology is a foundation of information security in the digital world. Today's internet is protected by a form of cryptography based on complexity theoretic hardness assumptions. Ideally, they should be strong to ensure security and versatile to offer a wide range of functionalities and allow efficient implementations. However, these assumptions are largely untested and internet security could ...

Wave turbulence: beyond weak turbulence (WATU)

Start date: Oct 1, 2015, End date: Sep 30, 2020,

Wave turbulence and fluid turbulence belong to the same class of turbulent states made of a large number of nonlinearly coupled degrees of freedom driven far from equilibrium. The Weak Turbulence Theory is a statistical theory of low amplitude turbulent waves. The predicted phenomenology (energy cascade) is very similar to that of fluid turbulence, which badly lacks such a statistical theory. Weak ...
