[HGI-News] WORKSHOP ON ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY (ECC 2006)

[Newsletter des Horst Görtz Instituts]

THE 10TH WORKSHOP ON ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY (ECC 2006)

The Fields Institute, Toronto, Canada

September 18, 19 & 20, 2006

 

 

THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT                May 27, 2006

[Please book your accommodations early; see ACCOMMODATIONS below]

 

ECC 2006 is the tenth in a series of annual workshops dedicated to the 

study of elliptic curve cryptography and related areas. Over the past 

years the ECC conference series has broadened its scope beyond 

elliptic curve cryptography and now covers a wide range of areas 

within modern cryptography. For instance, past ECC conferences included
presentations on hyperelliptic curve cryptography, 

pairing-based cryptography, side-channel attacks, voting protocols, 

quantum key distribution, AES, hash functions, and implementation issues. 

 

At the same time ECC continues to be the premier conference on elliptic 

curve cryptography. It is hoped that ECC 2006 will further our mission of
encouraging and stimulating research on the security and implementation of
elliptic curve cryptosystems and related areas, and encouraging
collaboration between mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers in
the academic, industry and government sectors.

 

There will be about invited lectures (and no contributed talks) delivered 

by internationally leading experts. There will be both state-of-the-art 

survey lectures and lectures on latest research developments.

SUMMER SCHOOL:

   Tanja Lange will be teaching a course at Fields on "Elliptic and 

   Hyperelliptic Curve Cryptography". The course is intended for 

   graduate students in cryptography and mathematics, and will take 

   place from September 11-15. There are no fees for this course.  

   Further details are available on the Fields web site:
