Sponsoring PKC 2003 

 

About the conference 

PKC 2003 is the sixth conference in the international workshop series on practice and theory in Public Key Cryptography. It will be hosted by the USA in Miami, Florida, from Monday 6^th January till Wednesday 8^th January 2003, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.  

PKC is the major international conference on public key cryptography. It is held once a year and is organized in co-operation with the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). The IACR is also responsible for the Crypto, Eurocrypt and Asiacrypt conferences, which are also organized annually. Many of the famous results in cryptography and security are presented and published at the IACR conferences. These conferences draw people from Industry, Universities, Banks and Governments, all working in security-related areas. Previous conferences were held in France, Korea, Australia and Japan. For details see: www.ipkc.org 

Due to an increasing interest in security and public key cryptography, the number of participants at PKC has been steadily growing and we expect well over 100 delegates at Miami, representing countries from all over the world, including the USA, Japan, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
