The
Conference
Crypto 2001 is the 21st
international conference on cryptology held at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The
academic program covers all aspects of cryptology. The preliminary
program shows the schedule of technical presentations, invited talks, and
social events. Formal proceedings, published by Springer-Verlag, will be
provided to all registered attendees at the conference.
Crypto 2001 is organized by the International Association for Cryptologic Research
(IACR), in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical
Committee on Security and Privacy, and the Computer
Science Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara. The
Program Chair is Joe Kilian, and the
General Chair is David Balenson.
In addition to selected and invited papers,
there will be a Rump Session on Tuesday evening for selected informal
presentations. Facilities are available for attendees to demonstrate hardware,
software, and other items of cryptologic interest. If you are interested,
please contact the General Chair by June 30th.
The social program will include a
catered reception on Sunday evening during registration, dinner receptions on
Monday and Tuesday evenings, and a beach barbecue on Wednesday evening.
Breakfasts and lunches will be served at the university dining hall.
The workshop will be
held on the campus of the University of
California, Santa Barbara. The campus is located adjacent to the Santa
Barbara airport and the Pacific Ocean; free shuttle bus service from the
airport is available for those attendees staying on campus only (those staying
in hotels will need to secure their own transportation from the airport).
Reasonably priced accommodations are available in the university residence
halls for participants and their registered guests. Children under the age of
13 are not allowed to stay in the dormitories, so those bringing younger
children will need to make separate arrangements in one of the nearby hotels
(see Hotels, below). Parking on campus is available at no cost to participants
who reside on campus, but a permit must be requested on arrival. Smoking inside
campus buildings is prohibited.
The UCSB campus is
located approximately two miles from the Santa
Barbara airport (code: SBA), which is served by several
airlines including American, America West, Delta, United,
and US Airways. Complimentary shuttle bus
service will be provided between the Santa Barbara airport and the campus
beginning on Saturday for early arrivals and is available on the last day of
the conference as well (and also for late departures on Friday). All major
rental car agencies are represented in Santa Barbara. AMTRAK also has rail connections from both
San Francisco and Los Angeles. Santa
Barbara is approximately 100 miles (160 km) north of the Los Angeles
airport and 350 miles (560 km) south of San Francisco. Information about the weather in Santa
Barbara can be found here.
For
those who choose not to stay in the dormitories, the following is a partial
list of hotels in the area. Those who
choose to stay off campus are responsible for making their own
reservations. Early reservations are
advised, since August is a popular season in Santa Barbara. Blocks
of rooms will be reserved in the Pacifica Suites, Holiday Inn, Best Western
South Coast Inn, Ramada Limited, Santa Barbara Inn, and Upham Victorian Hotel
and Garden Cottages.
Note
that Goleta is closer to UCSB than Santa Barbara is to UCSB, but a car will
probably be required to travel between any hotel and the campus. All prices are subject to change and do not
include a 10-12% tax; prices should be confirmed by calling the hotels
directly. Mention Crypto 2001 at UCSB when you are making your reservations, since at
the following hotels you will be eligible for the university rate, which can be
a significant savings. PLEASE NOTE:
rates for Friday and Saturday night stayovers are significantly higher. The quality of the hotels ranges from rather
expensive beach-front resorts to basic, inexpensive accommodations. For further information, try contacting the Santa Barbara Convention and Visitors
Center.
