CDFG 2009 is organized on the occasion of Spyros Magliveras' 70th birthday, honoring his scientific achievements. Spyros Magliveras is Professor and Chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Director of the Center for Cryptology and Information Security at Florida Atlantic University , and Henson Professor Emeritus at CSE Department, University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

The workshop is devoted to mathematical research in the areas of cryptology, combinatorial design theory and finite groups. Results that focus on mathematical interconnections among these fields and how they interact are of particular interest to CDFG 2009.
