*********************************************************** Cryptography Day at IBM Yorktown October 28, 1993 Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights New York *********************************************************** Once the province of diplomats and spies, cryptography is assuming a central role in civil applications, including digital telephony, electronic mail, database access, software copy protection, funds transfer and contract negotiation. As these services become more powerful and globally integrated, cryptographic techniques provide the chief means of reconciling the conflicting goals of privacy and accessibility. This day-long symposium will explore the emerging intersection of cryptographic algorithms, devices, applications, and policy that is shaping the future of information services. Topics to be covered include + A survey of cryptography and related techniques + The role of cryptography in information distribution and licensing + Electronic privacy + Smart cards + Evolution of the regulatory framework and international standards Speakers include Richard Barth Council on Competitiveness, Washington, DC Gilles Brassard Universite de Montreal, Canada Whitfield Diffie Sun Microsystems, Sunnyvale, CA Charles Hartman IBM Personal Systems Multimedia, Mountain View, CA Jean-Jacques Quisquater Universite Catholique, Louvain, Belgium The symposium will involve no proprietary or confidential information.
