======DILS Seminar======
=====Winter Semester 24/25=====

**Tuesdays, 14:15**

\\

**Hybrid: U10-116 and online via Zoom.**

\\

This doctoral research seminar of the DILS graduate school is dedicated to PhD students of the Bielefeld Institute for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (BIBI) and friends. Guests are always welcome.

\\

The topics presented are determined by the research interests of the graduate school. The main aim of this seminar is to keep the participants informed on the current developments and to critically discuss recent developments.

\\

This semester, we focus on cryptography. We begin with classical algorithms and basic techniques, trying to {{code.zip|implement}} some by ourselves, following some books:
  * [[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/3FVIPY2DF4MEQ5UFBUMH?target=10.1002/9781119612216|"Implementing Cryptography Using Python" by Shannon W. Bray, 2020.]]
  * [[https://inventwithpython.com/cracking/|"Cracking Codes with Python" by Al Sweigart, 2018]]

Afterwards, we move on to more applied topics closer to our own research, e.g., encrypted databases.
