FASTSEC: Marie Curie Training Site
Research Opportunity
The University of Bergen offers European doctoral students research training in fast and secure communication.Internet and mobile communication transactions contain huge amounts of sensitive data, including payment systems, e-commerce, and medical information. It is important to prevent these data from being read and tampered by unauthorised persons. In addition there is also demand for fast and efficient methods to implement error-correcting codes used for obtaining a reliable communication over a communication channel.
The training will comprise coding theory and cryptography and the interaction of these fields, and range from taking advanced courses to work on research projects on fast and secure communication supervised by members of the coding theory and cryptology group at the Department of Informatics.
Benefits and research impact for the fellow
Doctoral students coming to the training site will benefit from participating in advanced international research on fast and secure communication. This is an area that applies many challenging theoretical methods in mathematics and computer science and is of high practical importance today and will be even more so in the future.PhD students from the European Union
are invited to apply for a
3-12 months' stay at the University of Bergen to conduct research
or
to follow courses as part of a PhD study.
Applications are accepted continuously.
