First Open NESSIE Workshop

13-14 November 2000, Leuven Belgium


NESSIE (New European Schemes for Signature, Integrity, and Encryption) is a project within the Information Societies Technology (IST) Programme of the European Commission. The main objective of the project is to put forward a portfolio of strong cryptographic primitives that have been obtained after an open call and evaluated using a transparent and open process.

NESSIE submitters are encouraged to present their submissions at the first open NESSIE workshop. This workshop will take place at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Belgium on 13-14 November 2000. The workshop venue is the Arenberg Castle, Kardinaal Mercierlaan 94, Heverlee, and is located next to the Department of Electrical Engineering-ESAT. Registration starts at 13:15 on Monday 13 November, and the workshop ends around 17:45 on Tuesday 14 November. Interested parties are invited to attend this workshop.
