Western European Workshop on Research in Cryptology

WEWoRC

The Western European Workshop on Research in Cryptology (WEWoRC) is a research meeting in the field of cryptology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following

Foundations of cryptology (e.g., from computational number theory, complexity theory, combinatorics)
Secret-key cryptosystems and hash functions
Public-key cryptosystems
Modes of operation (e.g., Authenticated encryption and signcryption)
Cryptographic protocols (e.g., privacy, mobile security, distributed cryptography)
Implementation of cryptosystems and their integration into secure systems
Applications such as watermarking and code obfuscation

The workshop is one of the central scientific activities of the German special interest group on applied cryptology (FG Krypto). It takes place every second year. The next edition will be held in 2009 in Graz.

YACC

WEWoRC is twinned with Yet Another Conference on Cryptography (YACC). It is organized since 2002 and takes place on the French island of Porquerolles. As WEWoRC, it is organized every second year. The last edition of YACC took place in 2008. You can access more information on YACC'08 by clicking on the picture below.
