Spotlight on Esorics

The 24th edition of the European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS) was organised in Luxembourg by SnT’s Prof Dr Peter YA Ryan. ESORICS is Europe’s premiere conference on computer security and this was one of the most successful editions of the event. The five day gathering boasted an impressive number of paper submissions and welcomed 323 attendees.

One of the world’s top cryptographers, Adi Shamir, opened the conference. Shamir is a co-winner of the 2002 A.M. Turing Award, with American computer scientists Leonard M. Adleman and Ronald L. Rivest. We also welcomed Véronique Cortier, winner of an ERC starting grant, who gave a keynote address on her work on electronic voting. Bart Preneel, the notable cryptographer from KU Leuven, delivered the third keynote on cryptocurrencies.
