DILS Seminar

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 implement some by ourselves, following some books:

• "Implementing Cryptography Using Python" by Shannon W. Bray, 2020.
• "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.

• Privacy-preserving techniques of genomic data—a survey
• Kerberos: An Authentication Service for Computer Networks
• Generic Attacks on Secure Outsourced Databases
• Big Data Analytics over Encrypted Datasets with Seabed
• Communication-Efficient Learning of Deep Networks from Decentralized Data (Introduction of //federated learning//)
• Privacy Preserving Machine Learning with Homomorphic Encryption and Federated Learning
• Zero knowledge proofs of identity
