SUMMER SCHOOL TUTORIAL:

 Tanja Lange is organising a tutorial
 on elliptic and hyperelliptic curve cryptography on Monday 3rd September
 and Tuesday 4th September. The course is intended for
 graduate students and industry workers, but all are welcome.
 For further information on the content, see
http://www.hyperelliptic.org/tanja/conf/summerschool07/
For registration (free for students and postdocs) see
the conference webpage.

SPECIAL PUBLIC LECTURE:

On the evening of Tuesday 4 September at 7.30,
Joseph H. Silverman will deliver a special public lecture entitled
"The Ubiquity of Elliptic Curves".


ECC 2007 is the eleventh 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 function, implementation issues,
and deployments.

At the same time ECC continues to be the premier conference on elliptic
curve cryptography. It is hoped that ECC 2007 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.

As with past ECC conferences, there will be about 15 invited lectures
(and no contributed talks) delivered by internationally leading experts.
There will be both state-of-the-art survey lectures as well as lectures
on latest research developments.
