From: "Secretariaat EIDMA" <eidma@TUE.nl>

Dear Colleague,

in the hope that this will be of interest to you, I'd like to announce 
to you a Workshop on Secure Multi-Party Computation.
It is held in Amsterdam on October 7-8 and it is organized by the 
European Network of Excellence in Cryptology.

The program and registration details are shown below.

best regards, Ronald Cramer.

             Workshop on Secure Multiparty Protocols (SMP 2004)

                   Information and Call for Participation

               October 7-8, 2004, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

                   http://www.zurich.ibm.com/~cca/smp2004/


   The   workshop  is  organized  by  ECRYPT,  the  European  Network
of
   Excellence  in  Cryptology,  and  in connection with DISC 2004, the
   18th  Annual  Conference  on  Distributed Computing, which takes place
   October 5-7, in Amsterdam. (The program of October 7 will be partially
   joint  with  DISC,  and  held  at  the same venue.) The workshop is an
   activity  of  ECRYPT's  PROVILAB,  the  virtual  lab  on cryptographic
   protocols.


   *** Scope ***

   Cryptographic  protocols  play  an  important role for building secure
   distributed systems. Such protocols involve the interaction of several
   agents   with   potentially   conflicting  security  goals.  

   The  aim  of  this  workshop  is  to  bring  together  researchers and
   practitioners  from  the cryptography and distributed computing areas,
   from  academia  and  industry,  who  are  working on secure multiparty
   protocols  for distributed systems, in order to engage in a discussion
   about  common  goals and important research problems in the overlap of
   the areas.


   *** Format ***

   The  workshop  will  consist  of  invited  keynote  presentations and
   contributed presentations. There will be no proceedings, but a handout
   with abstracts will be provided to all participants.


   *** Program Committee ***

     Lorenzo Alvisi (University of Texas, Austin, USA)
     Christian Cachin (IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Switzerland)
     Ronald Cramer (CWI & Leiden University, The Netherlands)
     Giuseppe Persiano (Università di Salerno, Italy)

 

   *** Program ***

   The  program  of  Thursday  is  held at the Trippenhuis and jointly
   organized by DISC 2004 and the SMP workshop; registration to either
   event includes the technical program of the whole day. The  program 
   of Friday is held at CWI.
