ECC 2012 is the 16th in a series of annual workshops dedicated to the study of elliptic curve cryptography and related areas. Over the past years the ECC conference series has broadened its scope beyond elliptic curve cryptography and now covers a wide range of areas within modern cryptography. For instance, past ECC conferences included presentations on hyperelliptic curve cryptography, pairing-based cryptography, side-channel attacks, voting protocols, quantum key distribution, AES, hash functions, and implementation issues.
The 16th edition will be held at Querétaro, México on October 28-31,
2012 in cooperation with the XLV National Conference of the Mexican
Mathematical Society (SMM).
