Code-based cryptography is the area of research that focuses on the study of cryptosystems based on error-correcting codes, following the seminal work of McEliece and Niederreiter in the late 1970s - early 1980s. These systems have shown no vulnerabilities to quantum attackers and the relevant research branch is widely regarded as one of the most promising in the so-called area of Post-Quantum Cryptography. Current efforts in code-based cryptography are directed at producing fast, secure and efficient schemes. Research in this area has also been fostered by the recent NIST's Post-Quantum Standardization call.
This event builds on the success of its predecessor, the CBC series, with the goal of promoting this research area to an even larger extent. Besides bringing together the existing community, our aim is to provide an opportunity to extend the range of participation to researchers approaching this research area for the first time, or simply interested in knowing more about it. The program includes invited talks, contributed talks and dedicated discussion sessions.
