Visits of International Scientists

• San Ling (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore) visited for two months (March and April), for collaborating on lattice-based cryptography. Visit partly funded by NTU and Inria Rhône-Alpes (invited researcher).

• Xiao-Wen Chang (McGill University, Canada) visited for one month (July), for collaborating on the numerical aspects of lattice reduction algorithms. Visit funded by ENS de Lyon (invited professor).

• Ron Steinfeld (Macquarie University, Australia) visited for one month (August), for collaborating on lattice-based cryptography. Visit funded by the French Embassy in Australia.

Participation In International Programs

• Guillaume Hanrot and Damien Stehlé participate in the LaBaCry project (Lattice-Based Cryptography), with San Ling and Huaxiong Wang (Cryptography and Coding group of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore). Project jointly funded by NTU and the MERLION program from the French Embassy in Singapore.

• Damien Stehlé is a Partner Investigator in the Australian Research Council Discovery Grant Lattices as a Constructive and Destructive Tool in Cryptography, with Christophe Doche, Igor Shparlinski and Ron Steinfeld (Macquarie University).

• Florent de Dinechin was invited 4 months by Nizhniy Novgorod State University (Russia).
