*********************************************************************
*********************************************************************
ECC 2003 is the seventh in a series of annual workshops dedicated
to the study of elliptic curve cryptography and related areas.
The main themes of ECC 2003 will be:
- The discrete logarithm problem.
- Efficient parameter generation and point counting.
- Provably secure cryptographic protocols.
- Efficient software and hardware implementation.
- Side-channel attacks.
- Deployment of elliptic curve cryptography.
It is hoped that the meeting will continue to encourage and
stimulate further research on the security and implementation
of elliptic curve cryptosystems and related areas, and encourage
collaboration between mathematicians, computer scientists and
engineers in the academic, industry and government sectors.
Attendees of ECC 2003 might also wish to attend SAC 2003
(Ottawa, Aug 14-15) and CRYPTO 2003 (Santa Barbara, Aug 17-21).
The last lecture at ECC 2003 will end at 3:00 pm on Wednesday
(Aug 13). This will give participants sufficient time to catch
flights scheduled to leave Toronto after 7:00 pm. There are hourly
flights from Toronto to Ottawa.
