• Thomas Peyrin
  I am really attached to the IACR and know its important role in promoting cryptography research. I've participated to several IACR PCs and will serve as co-GC of FSE'13. I will work on maintaining the high standards of IACR events and ensure the concerns of all cryptography sub-communities are considered.

  Statement: The IACR is my home research community, and I'd like to give back. My priorities are: (1) High quality research and its effective dissemination, (2) mentoring, (3) dialogue with related research communities, industry, standards and funding agencies.

• Thomas Berson
  I have served the IACR since 1983 as Secretary, Treasurer, President, and Director. During that time we created conferences, workshops, literature, and community. Our present challenges include balance and tolerance in our evolving community. I know where we have been; I know where we are going. Please vote for me.

• Michel Abdalla
  As an IACR member for more than a decade, I seek the opportunity to serve the community as a director. If elected, I'd like to help improve existing services provided by IACR, offer new services such as the organization of schools in cryptology, and promote worldwide dissemination of cryptologic research.

• Xavier Boyen
  In gratitude for my decade in this vibrant community, my stewardship would, inter alia, promulgate open scholarly dissemination, facilitate balanced global outreach and participation, and explore mutually beneficial cross-community partnerships -- progressing carefully, always honoring the continuity of traditions that define us. Best decisions are consensual through meeting of the minds.
