CSS '99 was held at Kent Ridge Digital Labs,
Singapore. In
this conference, I had good opportunities to participate a rump
session,
and listened to the presentation on the very recent research
topics, that
is the topics of provable security. I also listened to two invited
talks
by Edward Felten and Victor Shoup.
This conference is very
prestigious
and the accept by submission is very hard. This time the program
committee
received more than one hundred full submissions and selected only
16 of
them for presentation!! I hope that, in the future, I will submit
my paper
and obtain the accepted notification.
During the conference, I
fortunately met the following
celebrated cryptographers:
- Ari Juels
- Bruce Schneider
(The author of "Applied Cryptography". He
proposed
the famous symmetric cryptosystem, *fish)
- Christian Cachin
- Jack Stern
- Moti Yung
- Victor Shoup
(He is one of the inventors of famous encryption
scheme,
Cramer-Shoup scheme)
