Student Poster Session: Data Mechanics and Symmetric Cryptography

Date: April 26, 2016 from 2:00-5:00pm
Location: Hariri Institute for Computing, 111 Cummington Mall, Rm 180

The Hariri Institute is pleased to host the Topics in Data Mechanics and Symmetric Cryptography student poster session, featuring 20 group projects completed by students enrolled in the spring course sections.

Students from CS 591 L1 will present posters describing projects in which they worked with real data sets from the City of Boston, Massachusetts Department of Transportation, and a variety of other sources to answer questions, perform analyses, and solve problems related to the organization and characterization or urban resources in Boston. The projects used data sets and addressed questions related to public transportation, crime, residential development, public health, and others. All the projects were assembled within a unifying framework that tracks provenance and allows sharing of data sets.

Students from CS 591 V1 will display posters on symmetric cryptography primitives that they have created based on the design principles covered in class. Following the old adage that “every system is perfectly designed to produce the results it gets,” each project is designed from scratch to optimize a specific security goal or support a targeted environment. The posters describe cryptosystems designed for lightweight CPUs, network security, SIMD support, stronger non-linearity, or applicability toward secure multi-party computation.
