   Financial Cryptography and Data Security (FC'05) is the premier
international forum for research, advanced development, education,
exploration, and debate regarding security in the context of finance and
commerce.  We have augmented our conference title and expanded our scope
to cover all aspects of securing transactions and systems. These aspects
include a range of technical areas such as: cryptography, payment
systems, secure transaction architectures, software systems and tools,
user and operator interfaces, fraud prevention, secure IT
infrastructure, and analysis methodologies.

   FC'05 brings together top cryptographers, data-security specialists,
and scientists with economists, bankers, implementers, and policy
makers. Intimate and colorful by tradition, the FC'05 program will
features invited talks (to be announced), academic presentations,
technical demonstrations, and panel discussions. This conference is
organized annually by the International Financial Cryptography
Association (IFCA).
