Financial cryptography. 2nd international conference, FC '98. Anguilla, British West Indies, February 23--25, 1998. Proceedings (Q1130446)

The articles of this volume will not be indexed individually. Following the success of the first Financial Cryptography conference in 1997, a second meeting was held in February 1998. Compared to the previous year, however, the contributions tended to focus more on technical issues and less on policy. Policy issues were covered in panel and roundtable discussions scheduled in separate sessions. One panel discussion, moderated by Barbara Fox on the topic of certificate revocation, was included in the scientific program, and the panelists have provided summaries of their remarks for the printed proceedings. An informal rump session provided an opportunity for presentation of the latest results and work in progress. One of these was an attack on a cipher presented at FC97. A brief summary of this result is included at the end of this volume; a fuller version has been submitted for presentation elsewhere.
