Centre for Information Security and Cryptography Distinguished Lecture

The last decade has witnessed a surge of scientific activity in designing  secure systems that are responsive to rapid changes in technology.  Missteps are being corrected, irregularities straightened, lessons learned  and the world has never come to a halt. The next decade looks just as  promising and penetrating studies will attempt to balance theory and  practice. In this talk, we peer into security's crystal ball and look at  fundamental questions that may affect the many facets of research on this  subject.

Kranakis has published in the analysis of algorithms, bioinformatics, communication and data (ad hoc and wireless) networks, computational and  combinatorial geometry, distributed computing, and network security.  Professor Kranakis is currently CNS (Communication, Networks and Security) Theme Leader in the MITACS (Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems) NCE (Networks of Centers of Excellence).  He became Carleton University Chancellor's Professor in 2006.

Complimentary coffee and cookies will be served after the lecture.
