INTERNATIONAL CRYPTOLOGY WORKSHOP AND CONFERENCE 2008 (CRYPTOLOGY2008)
KL, Malaysia - This conference brings together industry and academic researchers in an open forum that provide for contributions covering research on the theoretical foundations, applications and any related issues in cryptology, information and network security and other underlying technologies.
The International Cryptology Workshop and Conference 2008 (Cryptology2008) is a conference that brings together industry and academic researchers in an open forum that provide for contributions covering research on the theoretical foundations, applications and any related issues in cryptology, information and network security and other underlying technologies.
After the success of the 1st and 2nd National Cryptology Conference in 2004 and 2006 (NCC04 and NCC06) and also the establishment of the Malaysian Society for Cryptology Research (MSCR) in 2007, 3 parties INSPEM, Universiti Putra Malaysia, School of Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and MSCR decided to organize the International Cryptology Workshop and Conference 2008 (Cryptology2008). Internationally renowned cryptographic figures have been invited to give workshops and lectures for the benefit of all participants.
Cryptology is an area of study and research which has numerous applications especially in the area of information and communication technology. This conference is one of the many steps towards enhancing and realizing research and applications of cryptology in Malaysia through research collaboration and discussion with research counterparts from the international arena. This is an open forum, provided for contributions which covers research on the theoretical foundations, applications and any related issues in cryptology, information security and other underlying technologies.
This conference seeks submissions from the academia and industry presenting research on theoretical and practical aspects of cryptology. We also encourage submissions from other communities such as public agencies, defense and business sectors that represent these communities’ perspectives on issues related to security.
OBJECTIVES
To maintain and expand interest in Cryptology and Information and Network Security research.
To bring together experts and expertise in cryptology in an international congregation.
