---------- Forwarded message ---------- Subject: ECC '99 third announcement (revised) Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 08:47:56 -0400 To: Frances Hannigan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: Frances Hannigan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ========================================================= The 3rd workshop on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC '99) ========================================================= University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada November 1, 2 & 3, 1999 THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT September 13, 1999 ECC '99 is the third in a series of annual workshops dedicated to the study of elliptic curve cryptography. ECC '99 will have a broader scope than ECC '98 and ECC '97, which focussed primarily on the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem. The main themes of ECC '99 will be: - Provably secure discrete log-based cryptographic protocols for encryption, signatures and key agreement. - Efficient software and hardware implementation of elliptic curve cryptosystems. - The discrete logarithm and elliptic curve discrete logarithm problems. It is hoped that the meeting will encourage and stimulate further research on the security and implementation of elliptic curve cryptosystems and related areas, and encourage collaboration between mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers in the academic, industry and government sectors. There will be 15 invited lectures (and no contributed talks), with the remaining time used for informal discussions. SPONSORS: Certicom Corp.
