7-8 October 2004, Secure Multi-Party Protocols (SMP '04)

Cryptographic protocols play an important role for building secure distributed systems. Such protocols involve the interaction of several agents with potentially conflicting security goals. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from the cryptography and distributed computing areas, from academia and industry, who are working on secure multiparty protocols for distributed systems, in order to engage in a discussion about common goals and important research problems in the overlap of the areas.

The Secure Multi-Party Protocols (SMP '04) workshop is organized by ECRYPT, the European Network of Excellence in Cryptology, and in connection with DISC 2004, the 18th Annual Conference on Distributed Computing, which takes place October 5-7, in Amsterdam. (The program of October 7 will be partially joint with DISC, and held at the same venue.)
