This week our guest is Steven Murdoch who will be speaking with us about his recent work on chip and pin cards and pin entry devices.

Announcements

A new feature at this year’s Privacy Enhancing Technology Symposium is the HotPETs session. In addition to the usual “talk for 3-5 minutes on anything you like” rump session, there will be a session called HotPETs, at which you must be invited to speak (but of course all are encouraged to attend). For this session we invite submission of your hottest most exciting ideas that are still in a formative state. Submissions need not be technical in nature; we welcome challenges from other fields whereby our audience may learn about real world needs that require new research and solutions. Our intent is to bring new questions, approaches, and problems to our research community for discussion, feedback, and consideration of new approaches based on the diverse expertise of our attendees.

Submit abstracts by April 11 to hotpets08@petsymposium.org, or contact us through the cryptocracy blog.
