Accepted and presented papers will be included in the pre-proceedings. Authors of presented papers will later be invited to submit full papers to a special thematic issue of Designs, codes, and Cryptography.

The workshop will be organized by Selmersenteret in cooperation with INRIA, and will take place in the center of Bergen.

Topics include:

Coding theory: error-correcting codes, decoding algorithms, fountain coding, network coding, space-time coding and collaborative decoding, related combinatorial problems

Cryptology: block and stream ciphers, hash functions, public key cryptography, cryptanalysis, secret sharing, authentication, intellectual property protection

Discrete mathematics and algorithmic tools arising from these two areas, such as: Boolean functions, sequences, finite fields, algebraic systems and related polynomial properties.
