Date: March 23-24, 2023
Location: Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea.
New:
During the Working Group session, we will be conducting a tutorial session for beginners in HE. This will be presented in Korean. The tutorial will cover the fundamentals of HE, showcase real-world applications, and include a demonstration of relevant software.
Overview
Based on the success of our previous standards meetings, and the founding of the HomomorphicEncryption.org group, we are pleased to announce the 6th HomomorphicEncryption.org Workshop. The workshop is targeted at application developers, security practitioners, and homomorphic encryption experts. Along with technical standards discussions, the program also includes sessions on software tools for developing and benchmarking homomorphic encryption solutions, hardware acceleration approaches, and industry applications of homomorphic encryption. The workshop is also a great place for PhD students to meet representatives from industry and academia.
This will be the first time that the meeting takes place in an Asian venue, with a clear target to strengthen the engagement with standardization bodies and raise awareness among end-users and potential adopters of homomorphic encryption.
Please note that the workshop will take place in-person. If you would like to contribute to, or suggest, other topics in the agenda, please, let us know.
Thanks in advance. We are looking forward to seeing you in Seoul!
