conference [8th September 2003]
Manchester, UK, 8 September 2003. Comodo,
the internet security specialists, is reinforcing its
commitment to the advancing of cryptographic techniques
through its support and sponsorship of the CHES (Cryptographic
Hardware & Embedded Systems) conference, held this
week in Cologne. Dr Colin Walter, Head of Cryptography,
Comodo Research Lab is Program Chair for the conference,
one of the largest cryptography conferences in the world
today.
Providing a vital link between the academic
research community and industry, CHES provides a forum
for the sharing of new results and solutions. The fifth
CHES conference will focus on all aspects of cryptographic
hardware and security in embedded systems, with up to
200 participants coming from academia, commerce and
government organizations. Of particular interest are
contributions that describe new methods for efficient
hardware implementations and high-speed software for
embedded systems such as smart cards, microprocessors
and DSPs.
Commenting about CHES, Melih Abdulhayoglu,
Chief Security Architect, Comodo Group, said “Comodo
recognizes the importance of bringing together the latest
academic research with leading industry players to develop
commercially-viable security solutions for the benefit
of all online users.” He continued “Comodo
is proud to support the CHES conference and we look
forward to this years’ event being the success
it thoroughly deserves to be.”
Colin Walter has a formidable international
reputation in the design of hardware and algorithms
for the implementation of RSA cryptography. A senior
member of the IEEE, Colin is most well-known to the
international community for his long term research into
Montgomery modular multiplication and, in particular,
his invention of the first ever purely locally connected
systolic modular multiplier array which is now the basis
of the fastest SSL accelerator chips in the world.
Since forming in 1998, Comodo has operated
a dedicated research and development lab, with R&D
headquarters in UK and members of the R&D team based
all around the world. The Comodo Research Lab is focused
on the fundamental research and development of security
solutions through its dedicated team of engineers and
ensures the successful operation of the Comodo infrastructures.
