    WORKSHOP ON CRYPTOGRAPHIC HARDWARE AND EMBEDDED SYSTEMS (CHES)
    
                http://ece.WPI.EDU/Research/crypt/ches

                    Worcester Polytechnic Institute
                    Worcester, Massachusetts, USA
                         August 12 & 13, 1999

                         First Call for Papers

General Information

The focus of this workshop is on all aspects of cryptographic
hardware and embedded system design. The workshop will be a forum of
new results from the research community as well as from the industry.
Of special interest are contributions that describe new methods for
efficient hardware implementations and high-speed software for
embedded systems, e.g., smart cards, microprocessors, DSPs, etc. We
hope that the workshop will help to fill the gap between the
cryptography research community and the application areas of
cryptography. Consequently, we encourage submission from academia,
industry, and other organizations. All submitted papers will be
reviewed.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

   * Computer architectures for public-key cryptosystems
   * Computer architectures for secret-key cryptosystems
   * Reconfigurable computing and applications in cryptography
   * Cryptographic processors and co-processors
   * Modular and Galois field arithmetic architectures
   * Tamper resistance on the chip and board level
   * Architectures for smart cards
   * Tamper resistance for smart cards
   * Efficient algorithms for embedded processors
   * Special-purpose hardware for cryptanalysis
   * Fast network encryption
   * True and pseudo random number generators

Location

WPI is in Worcester, the second largest city in New England. The city
is 80 km (50 miles) West of Boston and 280 km (175 miles) North-East
of New York City.

Worcester is home to a wealth of cultural treasures, many of which
are just a short distance from WPI. These include the historic
Higgins Armory Museum, which houses one of the world's largest
collections of armor; the EcoTarium (formerly New England Science
Center), one of the only museums in the country dedicated to
environmental education; and the beautifully restored Mechanics Hall,
one of America's finest concert halls. The Worcester Art Museum,
holding one of the nation's finest collections, and the
world-renowned American Antiquarian Society, with the largest
collection of items printed during the nation's colonial period, are
within two blocks of the WPI campus. Worcester is also well known for
its ten colleges, which cooperate through the Colleges of Worcester
Consortium.

Recreation areas within easy driving distance include Boston and Cape
Cod to the east, the White and Green mountains to the north, and the
Berkshires to the west.

August weather in New England is usually very pleasant with average
temperatures of 20 C (70 F).
