Today, the importance of information security, especially cryptology theory, is increasing in a wide range of technological innovations such as big data science and the Internet of things — the mathematics as a theoretical foundation of these innovations is becoming more sophisticated and complicated, and mathematicians need to stay on top of the newest developments. Therefore, our proposed workshops focus on deepening interdisciplinary exchanges through brainstorming with experts in cryptography theory and data science, including pure mathematicians, to develop cutting-edge cryptographic theory, algebraic geometry, and combination theory. We propose workshops on novel applied research in information science theory and dynamics, and research in big data for practical problems (e.g., development of safe genome search method etc). Educational aspects are also included for graduate students in mathematics to introduce them to the actual social applications of mathematics and mathematical science.
