EARLY BIRD PREREGISTRATION ENDS THIS WEEK!

ECC 2015 is the 19th 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 2015 will further our mission of
encouraging and stimulating research on the security and implementation
of elliptic curve cryptosystems and related areas, and that it will
encourage collaboration between mathematicians, computer scientists and
engineers in the academic, industry and government sectors.

There will be about fifteen invited lectures (and no contributed talks)
delivered by internationally leading experts, giving both state-of-the-art
survey lectures as well as presentations of latest research developments.
This year, there will also be a panel discussion on standardisation of
elliptic curves for cryptography,

There will be a rump session at the conference on Monday evening, where
participants can give short and entertaining presentations of 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
before the event.

The following invited speakers have already confirmed their participation:
  Léo Ducas (CWI, Netherlands)
    Recovering Short Generators of Principal Ideals in Cyclotomic Rings
  Steven Galbraith (University of Auckland, New Zealand)
    Algorithms for the ECDLP
  Christian Grothoff (INRIA Rennes-Bretagne-Atlantique, France)
    Cryptography in GNUnet: Protocols for a Future Internet
    for Libre Societies
  Aurore Guillevic (École polytechnique and INRIA Saclay-Île-de-France, France)
    Computing discrete logarithms faster in F_{p^n} with the
    Number Field Sieve algorithm
  Michael Hamburg (Cryptography Research, USA)
  Michiel Kosters (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore)
    Sub-exponential algorithms for ECDLP?
  Juliane Krämer (Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany)
  Enea Milio (INRIA Bordeaux-Sud-Ouest, France)
    Computation of modular polynomials in dimension 2
  Cécile Pierrot (CNRS, DGA and Sorbonne Universités, UPMC, France)
    Discrete Logarithms in Medium Characteristic Finite Fields
  Peter Schwabe (Radboud University, Netherlands)
    Verifying ECC software
  Katherine Stange (University of Colorado, USA)
  Arnaud Tisserand (CNRS, Université de Rennes and INRIA-Bretagne-Atlantique, France)
Abstracts are available on the conference web site.

The conference is preceded by a summerschool on elliptic curve cryptology
and related areas of interest for the conference. Courses are intended for
students preparing a master or doctoral degree.

Preregistration is now open at the conference web site. There are no
registration fees for the summer school or the conference, but we have
to limit the number of participants; so we will contact you after
the preregistration to confirm whether your application has been accepted,
and will ask you for a final confirmation of your participation.

Early bird preregistration: June 19
Early bird notification:    June 22
Late preregistration:       August 12
  (within the limits of available places)
Late notification:          August 14
