Colloquium: Ideas Worth Spreading in Information Security & Cryptography, Dr. Nikos Komninos (University of Cyprus, Cyprus), Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 15:00-16:00 EET.
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus cordially invites you to the Colloquium entitled:
Ideas Worth Spreading in Information Security & Cryptography
 |
Speaker: Dr. Nikos Komninos |
Abstract:
The protection of information in hostile environments is a crucial factor in the growth of industry, business, and administration processes. Cryptography is the key technology for achieving information security in computer systems, communications, and, more generally, in the emerging information society. In this talk, we will lay out today's security problems and give some indications and warnings of tomorrow's security challenges. In particular, we will examine the security technologies, systems and applications of academic/industry interest and present fundamental problems in the information security and cryptography era.
