THE 7TH WORKSHOP ON ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY (ECC 2003)

University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

August 11, 12 & 13 2003

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT		      February 12, 2003


ECC 2003 is the seventh in a series of annual workshops dedicated
to the study of elliptic curve cryptography and related areas.
The main themes of ECC 2003 will be:
- - The discrete logarithm.
- - Efficient parameter generation and point counting.
- - Provably secure cryptographic protocols.
- - Efficient software and hardware implementation.
- - Side-channel attacks.
- - Deployment of elliptic curve cryptography.

It is hoped that the meeting will continue to 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 approximately 15 invited lectures (and no contributed
talks), with the remaining time used for informal discussions. There
will be both survey lectures as well as lectures on latest research
developments.
