2. Motivation Table: Papers related to pairing (Eurocrypt)

3. Other Motivations • Many Protocol Presentations, Supported by Pairing Implementations -- 1 Paper on Pairing Implementations • Pairing Computation Time Is Decreasing Our Results over F(3^97)^6 - 27 microseconds on FPGA - 4.3 milliseconds on Pem4 (3.4GHz) cf. xe mod n (1024bits) -- 8.7 milliseconds • We Can Use Pairing Now!

4. Scope Area III: SW/HW implementation • Secure operating system • Efficient software implementation • FPGA or ASIC implementation • Smartcard implementation • RFID security • Middleware security • Side channel attack • Fault attack Area IV: Applied security • Novel security applications • Secure ubiquitous computing • Security management • PKI model • Application to network security • Grid computing • Internet and web security • E-business or E-commerce security Area I: Novel cryptographic protocols • ID-based cryptosystem • Broadcast encryption • Authenticated encryption • Short signatures • Multi or aggregate signatures • Ring, group or threshold signatures • Designed confirmer or undeniable signature • Blind or partially blind signature • Identification scheme • Password authentication system • Key agreement protocol • Provably secure protocol Area II: Mathematical foundation • Weil, Tate, Eta and Ate pairings • Security consideration of pairing • Pairings on Abelian variety • Generation of pairing friendly curves • (Hyper-) Elliptic curve cryptosystem • Point counting algorithm • Number theoretic algorithms • Addition formula on the divisor group
