THE 13TH WORKSHOP ON ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY (ECC 2009)

August 24-26, 2009, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
hosted by The University of Calgary

http://ecc.math.ucalgary.ca

Third Announcement: Early Bird Registration Discount Ends July 27, 2009!!

ECC 2009 is the 13th 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 2009 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.

There will be a Rump Session on Monday evening, where participants can
give short (5-10 minutes) presentations on recent results, work in
progress, or make announcements of interest to attendees. A call for
submissions for the Rump Session will be issued to registrants in early
September.
