The inaugural research programme of the Institute for Mathematical
Sciences at the National University of Singapore took place from
July to December 2001 and was devoted to coding theory and
cryptology. As part of the programme, tutorials for graduate
students and junior researchers were given by world-renowned
scholars. These tutorials covered fundamental aspects of coding
theory and cryptology and were designed to prepare for original
research in these areas. The present volume collects the expanded
lecture notes of these tutorials. The topics range from
mathematical areas such as computational number theory, exponential
sums and algebraic function fields through coding-theory subjects
such as extremal problems, quantum error-correcting codes and
algebraic-geometry codes to cryptologic subjects such as stream
ciphers, public-key infrastructures, key management, authentication
schemes and distributed system security.
