1 Anca Nitulescu PhD Student Personal information Address: Ecole Normale Supérieure, DI Paris, France Occupational field Cryptography: Provable Security for Protocols I have a strong background in mathematics, theoretical computer science and cryptography. My research area is focused in Theoretical Cryptography Design and Security Analysis of Cryptographic Protocols. In particular, I am interested in the following topics: { Privacy and Integrity in the Cloud { Zero-Knowledge Proof Systems { Homomorphic Authentication Primitives { Secure Multi-Party Computations { Verifiable Delegation of Computations PhD in cryptography PhD Student, ENS Paris, CNRS/ERC CryptoCloud Project. Efficient Protocols for Privacy and Integrity in the Cloud David Pointcheval, Michele Abdalla Cloud computing is a paradigm in which users lease computing resources from powerful service providers. While cloud computing presents several benefits (such as reduced costs and new business opportunities), it also poses serious security concerns. Indeed, once everything is on the cloud, the surface of attack becomes larger than in the traditional local setting: cloud providers may be negligent in following security policies, they may host malicious insiders, or they may be subject to external attacks. These risks threaten the privacy and integrity of data and computations outsourced by users to the Cloud, and in fact represent an obstacle for many organizations to adopt cloud computing.

4 s October 2011 s The Summer Courses in Grenoble is aimed at researchers and graduate students, its main purpose is to teach foundational material in mathematics and promote the exchange of ideas between researchers. Graduate students get vital complementary training and the opportunity to familiarise themselves with state of the art research in the chosen field.

University of Perugia Courses The Summer Courses in Perugia were addressed to graduate or senior students interested in research. The aim of the School is to provide young researchers with a basic training in Mathematics and its applications in various sectors, including Physics, Computer Science, Economics and Finance. In pursuit of this aim, the School organises post-graduate courses addressed to young graduate students, both from Italy and from abroad, and prepares them for attendance to Ph.D. courses, post-graduate Schools and research activities in general.

5 Team Work Teaching Adaptability Social Organisational Computer Programming languages Skills and competences I have worked in various types of research teams for projects in my educational field I enjoy teaching mathematics. My experience in formal teaching consists of lectures, tutorials, and practicals. Private mathematical lessons and hours of tutorial support for the International students. Hours of practice in some elementary schools. I experienced different work environments in the academic programs abroad. Therefore, I am able to easily adapt to changes. I possess verbal and written communication and I am able to relate to a wide range of people. I have also a great sense of listening and negotiation. I have demonstrated leadership and organising, a firm sense of responsibility being the administrative coordinator of my class during the three years of faculty. Ability to work with several Mathematical softwares, including Maple, SAGE, Singular Familiar with C/C++, Python. Other Interests Enjoy sports particularly ski, cycling and running. Love theatre, literature, arts, cinema, music. Love to travel and experience different cultures.
