ECC 2016 is the 20th 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 2016 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.

There will be a rump session at the conference, 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 conference is preceded by a summer-school on elliptic curve cryptology.
This years theme is "Computational Algebraic Number Theory". Courses are
mainly intended for students preparing a master or doctoral degree.
