Because E-Commerce is Financial Cryptography. Whether you're securing a website credit card transaction with SSL, storing an existing currency in smartcard form or creating a completely new online currency, the technology which makes the transaction possible is "Financial Cryptography". Although E-Commerce is still very much in its first wave of evolution, with the hundred-year-old technology known as "mail order" taken online, the future of E-Commerce promises to be far more revolutionary. And it will be the technologies under development today that will enable the new business models of tomorrow. You can see all of these leading edge technologies at EFCE 2000, in June in the beautiful city of Edinburgh... TELL ME MORE ABOUT THIS CONFERENCE This international conference is intended to enable technology companies and individual innovators at the "leading edge" of Financial Cryptography Engineering to showcase their products and technologies in front of an audience of their peers.
