Scope and Topics
This workshop focuses on coding theory as a unifying foundation for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum reliability, highlighting how classical codes, lattices, and decoding algorithms underpin both quantum-safe security and fault-tolerant quantum information processing. The workshop aims to bring together researchers from information theory, coding theory, post-quantum cryptography, and quantum error correction to explore shared mathematical structures and algorithmic principles.
We invite submissions on (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Code-based cryptography (CBC) and decoding-based security assumptions
- Lattice-based cryptography (LBC), including LWE/LWR and related constructions
- Quantum error correction codes (QECC), including stabilizer and CSS constructions
- Information-theoretic security and coding-based approaches to quantum-safe communication
- Decoding algorithms for post-quantum security and quantum reliability
