The conference brings together the best cryptographers and technologists with businesses, bankers, lawyers and policy makers to further the understanding of what can be done with cryptography and what needs to be done for the world of finance. Topics for the conference range from Anonymity to Authentication, from Digital Cash to Digital Rights Management, from Legal and Regulatory Issues to Loyalty Mechanisms and from Payments Systems to Privacy issues. The program is a combination of peer reviewed papers, panel discussions and invited talks (see below) and the proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The schedule is now available at the web site, along with information about discounted hotel accommodation and travel. ====================================================================== Invited Speaker 1 - Richard L. Field (US Delegate UNCITRAL E-Commerce Working Group Secretary ABA Section of Science and Technology Law) Title: Listening In on the UN: Technology Lessons from the Diplomats Enabling rules on electronic signatures and records, international registry systems and electronic documents of title have all been the topics of recent international negotiation--at the U.N., the Hague Conference, UNIDROIT and other international diplomatic bodies. This talk will look at recent successes, failures and ongoing global harmonization work that have a direct bearing on the development of payment and financial systems. Invited Speaker 2 -- Tim Jones (Mondex) Title: Digital Cash - ahead of its time or just a bad idea? Mondex was an attempt to bring crypto to the masses. Why did it fail? Did it have any successes? What was learned? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Panel 1 - Economics of Security Moderator: L. Jean Camp (Harvard) Tentative Participants: Drew Dean (SRI) Andrew Odlyzko (University of Minnesota) Stuart Schechter (Harvard) Do we spend enough on electronic security? How can we judge when we are spending too much? Is there any way to evaluate expenditure? Is the value of cryptography subject to economic measurement? Panel 2 - Trusted Computing Platforms: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Moderator: Moti Yung (Columbia University) TCPA and Palladium "trusted platform" activities have raised many questions and objections. In this panel, we will confront the proponent and opponents of these ideas and raise more awareness regarding ways of use and abuse of these ideas. Panel 3 - Does anyone really need MicroPayments?" Moderator: Nicko van Someren (nCipher) ====================================================================== Financial Cryptography is organized by the International Financial Cryptography Association (IFCA).
