- Call for Participation -
Pairing 2008
The Second International Conference on Pairing-based Cryptography
(Pairing 2008) will be held at Royal Holloway University of London, UK
in September 1-3, 2008.
Please refer to http://www.pairing-conference.org/ for further details.
Motivation and Scope:
Pairing-based cryptography is an extremely active area of research
which has allowed elegant solutions to a number of long-standing open
problems in cryptography (such as efficient identity-based
encryption). New developments continue to be made at a rapid pace.
To fully exploit the possibilities offered by pairings it is
necessary to have an appropriate background in several theoretical
and practical areas. In particular, the development of pairing based
cryptography has been both driven and influenced by developments in
number theory, algebraic geometry, cryptographic protocols, software
and hardware implementations, new security applications, etc.
The aim of "Pairing" conference is thus to bring together leading
researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, all
concerned with problems related to pairing-based cryptography. The
first conference Pairing 2007 was held in Japan and the proceedings
were published in Springer LNCS 4575. We hope that this conference
will enhance communication among specialists from various research
areas and promote creative interdisciplinary collaborations.
Authors are invited to submit papers describing their original
research on all aspects of pairing-based cryptography, including, but
not limited to the following topics:
Area I: Novel cryptographic protocols
- ID-based and certificateless cryptosystems
- Broadcast encryption, signcryption etc
- Short/multi/aggregate/group/ring/threshold/blind signatures
- Designed confirmer or undeniable signatures
- Identification/authentication schemes
- Key agreement
Area II: Mathematical foundations
- Efficient Weil and Tate variants
- Security consideration of pairings
- Other pairings and applications of pairings in mathematics
- Generation of pairing friendly curves
- Elliptic and hyperelliptic curves
- Number theoretic algorithms
- Addition algorithms in divisor groups
Area III: SW/HW implementation
- Secure operating systems
- Efficient software implementation
- FPGA or ASIC implementation
- Smart card implementation
- RFID security
- Middleware security
- Side channel and fault attacks
Area IV: Applied security
- Novel security applications
- Secure ubiquitous computing
- Security management
- PKI models
- Application to network security
- Grid computing
- Internet and web security
- E-business or E-commerce security
