Background:

For the last few years the International Workshop on Practice and Theory in
Public-Key Cryptography has been the main annual workshop focusing on research
on all aspects of public-key cryptography. The first workshop was organized in
1998 in Japan. Other PKCs have taken place in Australia, France, Japan, South
Korea, Singapore, and USA. 
 
Since 2003, PKC is an IACR workshop. PKC has attracted papers from
world-renowned scientists in the area.

Topics of Interest:

The topics of interest are all aspects of public-key cryptography including
theory, design, analysis, implementation, and applications of public-key
cryptography.

PKC 2005 will be held at the Congress house in Les Diablerets,
Switzerland. Les Diablerets is a little village located in the Alps at the
foot of a glacier. The village offers several winter sport activities such as
ski, snowboard or sledge run. The top of the glacier can be visited taking a
cable-car at any time of the year. More information about Les Diablerets is
available on http://www.diablerets.ch. 


Social Events:

 The social program includes a welcome reception, a free afternoon and a
 banquet. These events will be held at the Eurotel Victoria. Some additional
 social events will be proposed such as an excursion to the glacier or a
 sledge run followed by a cheese fondue.
