List of papers accepted to FC'03 --------------------------------

I see pretty much a standard list of crypto papers here, albeit crypto with a waving of finance salt. What ever happened to Financial Cryptography? The organisers did say they were going to look at wider accessibility for the coming year, but I see only these papers that are, from the titles at least, anything that speaks to non-cryptographers:

Fully Private Auctions in a Constant Number of Rounds Felix Brandt

Squealing Euros: Privacy Protection in RFID-Enabled Banknotes Ari Juels and Ravikanth Pappu

How Much Security is Enough to Stop a Thief? Stuart E. Schechter and Michael D. Smith

On the Economics of Anonymity Alessandro Acquisti and Roger Dingledine and Paul Syverson

Even they're a stretch. All are specialised, and none are of interest to the non-deep-techies. On a related front, how much interest is there in running EFCE this coming June? -- iang --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo@wasabisystems.com

How Much Security is Enough to Stop a Thief? Stuart E. Schechter and Michael D. Smith ... Even they're a stretch. All are specialised, and none are of interest to the non-deep-techies.

I don't think you'll find our paper to be overly technical - at least not from a computer science or cryptographic perspective. We wrote this paper because we believe that determining the level of security necessary to deter an adversary is a problem of more general interest. Best regards Stuart Schechter
