These aspects include a range of technical areas such as: cryptography, payment systems, secure transaction architectures, software systems and tools, user and operator interfaces, fraud prevention, secure IT infrastructure, and analysis methodologies. The focus will also encompass financial, legal, business and policy aspects. Material both on theoretical (fundamental) aspects of securing systems and on secure applications and real-world deployments will be considered. The conference goal is to bring together top cryptographers, data-security specialists, and scientists with economists, bankers, implementers, and policy makers. Intimate and colorful by tradition, the FC07 program will feature invited talks, academic presentations, technical demonstrations, and panel discussions. FC07 will take place at the Hilton Tobago Resort in Tobago, West Indies from February 12th to 15th, 2007. Please see the conference call for papers and the other pages of this website for details on conference coverage, submission, and logistical information. A workshop on Usable Security will be held in conjunction with FC07 immediately following the conference. This conference is organized annually by the International Financial Cryptography Association. -- ----------------- R. A.

Hettinga" <rah(a)shipwright.com> Subject: [Clips] FC'07 : Travel Reply-To: clips-chat(a)philodox.com Sender: clips-bounces(a)philodox.com <http://fc07.ifca.ai/travel.html> Travel Getting to Tobago There are some international flights to Tobago's Crown Point International Airport (TAB), notably from London Gatwick and from Bardados, but most attendees will probably fly to Piarco International Airport in Port of Spain, Trinidad (POS) and connect to Tobago from there. Tobago Express operates 40 flights daily between Trinidad and Tobago (20 each way) at a cost of about $25 each way. Group discounts have been arranged for flights with airlines in the SkyTeam alliance (including Continental and Delta, which fly to POS) and for American Airlines. The American Airlines discount is also valid for other airlines in the oneworld alliance, but at least one leg must be flown with American. To get the SkyTeam discount, visit http://globalmeetings.skyteam.com/ and enter Event ID 0049S. To get the American Airlines discount, mention Discount Code A3927AX when booking your flight. The SkyTeam discount is valid for travel in the period February 7-21, 2007 for 5% off discounted fares and 10% off full fares. The American Airlines discount is valid for travel in the period February 9-19, 2007 for 5% off the lowest applicable published fare (with some fare classes excepted). Local Transportation To get to the Hilton from the airport, simplest is to take a taxi. Please let the FC07 General Chair know when you are scheduled to arrive; if a number of attendees are arriving together on the same flight we will try to meet the group and travel together to the hotel. Visa Information Conference attendees are advised to check with the nearest Trinidad and Tobago Embassy for entry requirements (visa and travel documents). Much information is also available online. Nationals of EU countries, the USA, and Canada generally do not need visas for stays of up to 3 months. -- ----------------- R. A.

Hettinga" <rah(a)shipwright.com> Subject: [Clips] FC'07 : Accommodations Reply-To: clips-chat(a)philodox.com Sender: clips-bounces(a)philodox.com <http://fc07.ifca.ai/accommodations.html> Accommodations IFCA has made arrangements for discounted rooms for conference and workshop attendees. The discounted rates are valid until the cutoff date of January 8, 2007, and attendees are strongly encouraged to reserve a room by this date. On the cutoff date any rooms in the block that have not been booked definitively will be be released for sale to other customers, and the group rates will no longer be available. To reserve a room, contact the hotel directly and specify that you are attending the "Financial Cryptography" or "FC07" or "IFCA" conference to get the special rates. Reservations by email are preferred (to reduce the chance of spelling errors), but you may want to follow up an initial email reservation by phone or fax rather than send your credit card information by email. Please do not assume that your reservation has been accepted until you receive a confirmation from the hotel! All rates listed are inclusive tax and service charges and are for single or double occupancy. * Hilton Tobago Resort * rate: $222/night (superior), $249 (deluxe) * advance purchase rate: $175/night (run of house) * tel: +1 (868) 660-8500 * fax: +1 (868) 660-8503 * email: reservations.tobago(a)hilton.com * http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/hotels/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=TABHIHI The superior and deluxe rooms at the Hilton differ in location/view but are otherwise the same. The advance purchase rate also includes broadband internet in the room (normally an extra $15/night). To get the advance purchase rate, the entire stay must be paid by the cutoff date and the payment is non-refundable, so for attendees who make use of this option travel insurance with cancellation coverage is recommended. * Tobago Plantations * rate: $150/night (condominium style) * tel: +1 (868) 631-1054 * fax: +1 (868) 639-9801 * email: rentals(a)tobagoplantations.com * http://www.tobagoplantations.com/ On the same grounds as the Hilton, the Tobago Plantations rooms are about a 15 minute walk away. This is not a hotel but a collection of individually owned units whose owners have placed them in a rental program. The rooms blocked for the conference resemble (nice) hotel rooms, and each small group of rooms shares a swimming pool, but many hotel services are not available. Reservations are made through the sales/rentals office, which is open only during business hours (M-F 8:00-16:30, GMT-4); email is preferred. Note that these rooms are not available for very short-term (one- or two-night) stays and are thus probably not suitable for persons attending only the workshop. -- ----------------- R. A.
