SUMMARY:5th Bar-Ilan Winter School on Cryptography
 : Advances in Practical Multiparty Computation, Te
 l Aviv, Israel
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20150215
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20150219
LOCATION:Tel Aviv, Israel
DESCRIPTION:In the setting of secure multiparty co
 mputation, two or more parties with private inputs
  wish to compute some joint function of their inpu
 ts. The security requirements of such a computatio
 n are privacy (meaning that the parties learn the 
 output and nothing more), correctness (meaning tha
 t the output is correctly distributed), independen
 ce of inputs, and more. This setting encompasses c
 omputations as simple as coin-tossing and agreemen
 t, and as complex as electronic voting, electronic
  auctions, electronic cash schemes, anonymous tran
 sactions, and private information retrieval scheme
 s. Due to its generality, secure computation is a 
 central tool in cryptography.   The aim of the sch
 ool is to start from the basics, and teach the mat
 erial needed to bring the participants up to date 
 with the latest results in this exciting field. Th
 e school program includes approximately 27 hours o
 f lectures and a half-day excursion to Jerusalem. 
 The last day of the school will be a mini-workshop
  where latest results will be presented.  The targ
 et audience for the school is graduate students an
 d postdocs in cryptography (we will assume that pa
 rticipants have taken at least one university-leve
 l course in cryptography). However, all faculty, u
 ndergrads and professionals with the necessary bac
 kground are welcome. The winter school is open to 
 participants from all over the world; all talks wi
 ll be in English.  Participation is free, but regi
 stration is required. Please register by December 
 30, 2014. For more information, see http://crypto.
