ECRYPT-NET School on Correct and Secure Implementation
Crete, Greece, 8–12 October 2017


Introduction

The venue has changed!

The ECRYPT-NET project organizes a school on correct and secure implementations. The school will be held from 8-12 October 2017 in Porto Platanias Beach Resort & Spa 5*, PlataniƔs, ChaniƔ, Crete, Greece. The school will run from Monday morning till early afternoon on Wednesday and is followed by presentations by the ECRYPT-NET fellows.

This school exposes the participants to side-channel attacks, fault attacks and bug attacks that are an effective method to break most currently fielded implementations of cryptography. Learning targets are how to engineer correct and secure implementations of existing cryptosystems and understanding how different design choices in cryptosystems can facilitate, or complicate, secure implementations.

This school is co-hosted with the ECRYPT CSA Workshop on Symmetric Crypto designed for side channel and fault resistance (12-13 October).

Transportation

In the island of Crete there are two airports located in the cities of Chania and Heraklion respectively. The airport of Heraklion is the main one, although the airport of Chania is also pretty active by handling many national and international flights, including e.g. Ryanair. You may also get good deals booking a ticket to Athens and a separate Ryanair ticket to Chania. The Chania airport is significantly closer to the venue.
