Traditional public-key cryptosystems rely on problems such as integer factorization and discrete logarithms on elliptic curves. While these problems are currently intractable for classical computers, Shorrsquo;s algorithm allows quantum computers to solve them in polynomial time. Post-quantum cryptography aims to create secure algorithms based on computationally hard problems that remain resistant to quantum attacks, with a focus on NP-complete problems. Code-based cryptography refers to any cryptographic system whose security relies on hard problems from algebraic coding theory. Classically, this problem consists of decoding a random linear code, which was proven to be NP-complete in 1978. That same year, McEliece introduced the first code-based cryptosystem. The core idea is to select a code with an underlying algebraic structure that enables efficient decoding, and then disguise it as a seemingly random. Encryp- tion works by encoding the message into a codeword and then intentionally adding errors. With the knowledge of the secret code, one can efficiently decode and recover the message, while an attacker is left with the challenge of decoding a random linear code. In this mini-course, we will introduce code-based cryptography, delving into the mathematical foundations of these systems. In particular, we will focus on the main approach to solving the decoding problem, that is, the information set decoding (ISD) algorithms. Lastly, we will discuss how to determine whether a code has a specific algebraic structure or if it is a random code.

Despite decades of research, controlling or eradicating advanced forms of the disease continues to be a challenge. Mathematical modeling offers a powerful tool for cancer research, enabling the exploration of complex processes and rdquo;what-ifrdquo; scenarios that may be inaccessible through traditional experimental or clinical methods. This mini-course will in- troduce participants to key mathematical modeling techniques used in cancer studies, emphasizing the multi-scale nature of cancer progression. We will explore models that simulate treatment effects across various biological levelsmdash;from intracellular interactions to tissue and whole-body responses, showing how mathematical models can provide quantitative insights, guide experimental design, and help distin- guish competing hypotheses, ultimately supporting the development of innovative cancer therapies. 27 November T.05 10:30 -12:30 28 November Aula C 10:30 -13:30 01 December Aula M 8:30-12:30 04 DecemberT.05 10:30 -12:30 Contact: Giandomenico Orlandi/ Giacomo Albi.

The course will focus on fundamentals on optimal control: dynamic optimization, linear-quadratic control, dynamic programming and Pontryagin#39;s maximum principle. Nonlinear optimal control. Approximation methods in high dimensions are also discussed such as polynomial approximation, deep neural networks. Optimization techniques: LASSO regression, stochastic gradient descent, training neural networks. Finally, combining the first two parts, we will study the construction of data-driven schemes for the approximation of high-dimensional nonlinear control laws. .
