ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Financial Cryptography and Data Security is a major international
forum for research, advanced development, education, exploration, and
debate regarding information assurance, with a specific focus on
commercial contexts.  The conference covers all aspects of securing
transactions and systems.

The goal of the conference is to bring security and cryptography
researchers and practitioners together with economists, bankers,
implementers and policy-makers.  Intimate and colourful by tradition,
the FC program features invited talks, academic presentations,
technical demonstrations and panel discussions.
