Welcome to the second electronic issue of the IACR Newsletter!

With the the AES process going in its second round, Eurocrypt '99 in Prague, and many other interesting events coming up, 1999 promises to be an exciting year for cryptology and for IACR. We see also new workshops in the field, such as CHES (Workshop on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems), and continuation of established conferences. See the Calendar section or www.iacr.org/events!

It looks as if the electronic proceedings CD-ROM may finally be ready! The CD-ROM contains PDF files for all papers published in IACR proceedings from 1981-1997. It will also be available separately from Springer in the LNCS series. I've seen the collection and it's indeed a very valuable tool to have around.

If you have not received the IACR Newsletter by Email and would like to recive it in the future, then check out your Email address in the IACR member list that has been mailed in February 1999.

IACR can only provide you with accurate information if you contribute your input. Please send in announcements of workshops, conferences, calls for papers, or any other item of interest to IACR members. The address for all submissions to the Newsletter and Calendar is

newsletter@iacr.org

The next issue of the IACR Newsletter is scheduled for publication in July. However, announcements will be posted on the IACR Website as soon as possible.
