June 3-4, 2008 - Applications of Pairing Based Cryptography: Identity Based Encryption and Beyond

This workshop brings together academia, government and industry to explore innovative and practical applications of pairing-based cryptography. Pairings have been used to create identity-based encryption schemes, but are also a useful tool for solving other cryptographic problems. We hope to encourage the development of new security applications and communication between researchers, developers and users. In addition to presentations, the workshop will facilitate panel discussions among invited experts and workshop participants.

NIST solicits presentations, panel proposals and participation from all interested parties, including researchers, system architects, vendors, and users. Deadlines:

      • Abstracts due: February 1, 2008
      • Notification to presenters: February 29, 2008
      • Handout presentation slides due: May 16, 2008
