Workshop - SHARCS - Special-purpose Hardware for Attacking Cryptographic Systems February 24 -25, 2005 - Pa?íž
15.11.2004The SHARCS Workshop is the first open meeting ever devoted entirely to the challenging subject of special-purpose cryptanalytical machines.
Much of the earlier work in this area was done on key searches for symmetric-key algorithms, with a particular emphasis on attacks against DES. More recently there has been interest in hardware architectures for sieving methods for attacking the RSA scheme. However, it seems that much work remains to be done including, for instance, special purpose hardware crackers for:
* index calculus algorithms
* elliptic curve based schemes
* lattice based schemes
* specific block and stream ciphers
In addition to algorithmic issues, it is also the workshop's goal to make advances on implementational issues such as:
* optical devices for cryptanalysis
* analog computers for cryptanalysis
* digital architecture for cryptanalysis
