Marie Curie Training Site
Fast and secure communication
http//www.selmer.uib.no/
RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY The University of Bergen
offers European doctoral students research
training in fast and secure communication for a
period of 3-12 months. Internet and mobile
communication transactions contain huge amounts
of sensitive data including payment systems,
e-commerce, medical information etc., which is
important to prevent from being read and tampered
by unauthorised persons. In addition there is
also demand for fast and efficient methods to
implement error-correcting codes used for
obtaining a reliable communication over a
communication channel. The training will
comprise coding theory and cryptography and the
interaction of these fields, and range from
taking advanced courses to work on research
projects on fast and secure communication
supervised by the coding/crypto group at The
Selmer Center, Department of Informatics.
BENEFITS AND RESERCH IMPACT FOR THE
FELLOW European doctoral students coming to the
training site will benefit from participating in
advanced international research on fast and
secure communication. This is an area that
applies many challenging theoretical methods in
mathematics and computer science and is of high
practical importance today and will be even more
so in the future.
THE FACILITY The fellows will get access to
research facilities, office space, libraries and
to a workstation connected through the local
network to a high performance supercomputer. The
students are also guaranteed accommodation at
boarding houses. Those accepted as students at
the training site will receive 1200
euro/month(gross) for mobility allowance, and
will be refunded round trip cost economy fare.
