报告一:Functions-based codes over finite fields and their applications

报告简介:
One of the leading research problems in coding theory is constructing new linear codes with appropriate parameters (functional in communication systems, consumer electronics and data storage systems), determining their weight distributions and studying their dual codes. This research also pays particular attention to applications. This talk concentrates on linear codes. We aim to present results and open questions by selecting families of linear codes over finite fields with arbitrary characteristics (some of them are designed for (toward) specific intended applications). Specifically, the emphasis will be on linear codes created from functions over finite fields. We shall discuss the advantages and limitations.

报告简介:
Bent functions in an even characteristic are Boolean functions with the highest possible nonlinearity in an even number of variables. They were introduced by Rothaus and had been previously studied by Dillon and Rothaus less than five decades ago. Since 1974, bent functions have been extensively developed as interesting combinatorial objects and are significant in many mathematics-related areas for communications. In this talk, we discuss maximally nonlinear functions and their extensions as Hyperbent functions, a class of essential bent Boolean functions that achieve maximum distance from all bijective monomial functions and provide additional security against approximation attacks. They were initially proposed by Golomb and Gong in 1999 as components of substitution boxes (S-boxes) to ensure the security of symmetric cryptosystems. These functions were introduced in 2001 by Youssef and Gong for both theoretical and practical interest, using the concept of extended Walsh transform as a mathematical tool extending the classical Walsh Hadamard transform.
After an overview of these objects, our primary focus is their role in coding theory, first in the context of the covering radius of Reed-Muller codes and their interactions with cyclic codes based on idempotents elements.
报告三:(Cryptographic) Functions for Designing Locally Recoverable Codes in Distributed Storage
报告时间:2024年9月23日(星期一)15:00-17:00

报告简介:
There is a crucial need for highly scalable and reliable extensive data storage systems due to the rapid growth in data. Distributed storage systems (DSSs) store data on multiple distributed nodes and are widely used in file system storage, ample database storage, backup files, cloud storage, and more. The repair problem in DSSs is a key focus area.
Lately, there has been a notable increase in interest and focus on Locallyrecoverablecodes (LRCs), highlighting their growing importance in distributed storage systems. In this talk, we will explore function-based codes and present mathematical techniques for creating (optimal) LRCsfrom functions and polynomials. Notably, we emphasize the significant role of specific cryptographic functions in the design of LRCs.
