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.

FIELDS FALL 2006 THEMATIC PROGRAM IN CRYPTOGRAPHY:
   ECC 2006 will be one of the events being organized in conjunction 
   with the Fields Institute Fall 2006 Thematic Program in 
   Cryptography. ECC 2006 attendees who are interested in office space 
   or funding can apply to Fields for funding:
   http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/programs/scientific/06-07/crypto


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:
     www.fields.utoronto.ca/programs/scientific/06-07/crypto/courses/#Lange


TRAVEL:
   The Fields Institute is located in the downtown campus of the
   University of Toronto. The Fields web site
     http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/resources/travel/index.html
   has travel information information, directions to the Institute,
   and a map. 


ACCOMMODATIONS:
   The Fields web site
     http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/resources/housing.html
   has a listing of hotels that are within walking distance to the
   Institute. You are advised to book your hotel rooms as early as 
   possible - some hotels may not have rooms available at discounted 
   rates because the Toronto Film Festival is being held from Sep 7-16.

      http://www.dayshoteltoronto.ca
   which is a 10-15 minute walk from Fields. 
   Rate: Cdn $115/night + 15% tax for a single or double room.
   Reservations must be made by phone (416-977-6655) or by email
   (reservations@dayshoteltoronto.ca) in order to get this special 
   rate. Please quote "Fields Institute" when making your reservation.
   Cut-off date for rooms is August 18, 2006.
