[Apologies if you receive multiple copies] * * * * * * * * * * * - Call for Participation - The 8th International Conference on CRYPTOLOGY AND NETWORK SECURITY (CANS 2009) December 12 - 14, 2009 Kanazawa, Ishikawa, Japan Web Page: http://www.rcis.aist.go.jp/cans2009/ Contact: cans2009-info@m.aist.go.jp !!! Act quickly! Early-bird registration closes October 30. !!! [Overview] The main goal of this conference is to promote research on all aspects of network security, as well as to build a bridge between research on cryptography and on network security. We therefore welcome scientific and academic papers with this focus. Previous CANS have been held in Taipei (2001), San Francisco (2002), Miami (2003), Xiamen (2005), Suzhou (2006), Singapore (2007), and Hong Kong (2008). We have over 100 paper submissions. Selected papers through a rigorous review process among them will be presented, in addition to valuable invited talks. We now solicit you to attend CANS 2009. Please check the website for more information.
