Subject: ECC 2011 and Summer School - Second Announcement

THE 15TH WORKSHOP ON ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY (ECC 2011)

Workshop: September 19-21, 2011, LORIA, Nancy, France
Summer School: September 12-16.

Second Announcement:

ECC 2011 is the 15th 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 2011 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 and entertaining 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.


Invited Speakers:

The following is a preliminary list of invited speakers:
    Diego Aranha
    Gaetan Bisson
    Jean-Marc Couveignes
    Claus Diem
    Jean-Charles Faugère
    Craig Gentry
    David Jao
    Reynald Lercier
    Allison Lewko
    Patrick Longa
    Christiane Peters
    Marco Streng
    Vanessa Vitse


Summer School:

We will host a Summer school on Elliptic and Hyperelliptic Curve
Cryptography the week before ECC in Nancy. The course is intended for
graduate students in cryptography and mathematics, and will take place
September 12-16. Introductory topics on elliptic curves and cryptographic
applications will be covered, with an emphasis on providing a strong
background in support of the research talks at ECC.


Registration:

The web site for online registration will open mid-June. The fees will
be:
Before August 20th:
  - Conference: regular 250 EUR,   student 150 EUR
  - Summer School: 200 EUR
After August 20th:
  - Conference: regular 300 EUR,   student 200 EUR
  - Summer School: 250 EUR
The fees for the conference include the three lunches, a reception on
Monday evening during the rump session, and a banquet on Tuesday evening.
The fees for the summer school include five lunches, and a social dinner on
Wednesday evening.


Stipends:

A limited number of stipends are available for students.  Details for
application will be provided as soon as possible on the website.
