ASI is a short study program which will focus on the most recent advances and developments in both cryptography and wireless security.  We invite internationally renowned computer scientists and leading experts around the world to give talks in their specialty areas and share with us their experiences.  Our distinguished speakers include winners of Turing Awards and Gödel Prize in computer science.

We will have extensive coverage and in-depth discussions on topics which include foundations of modern cryptography, the theory and practice of latest cryptographic techniques, secure ad hoc and sensor networks, novel mobile security, future directions for security protocols and quantum cryptography.  We also hope that this will provide an excellent opportunity for our peers to renew friendship and make new ones.

We sincerely invite you to join us at this ASI for a rewarding learning experience and enthralling visit to Hong Kong and our university.
