Speakers
Marek Grajek
A cryptologist and computer scientist by trade, a historian by avocation. One of the people behind the idea of a statue of Enigma-breakers, which has been erected in front of the Imperial Castle in Poznań. A consultant regarding applications of cryptology in the financial world and capital markets. An author of a recently-published book "Enigma. Bliżej prawdy" ("Enigma. Closer to the Truth"),especially lauded for the innovative combination of author's knowledge of exact sciences with his love of history.
Andrew Odlyzko
Andrew Odlyzko is a Professor at the University of Minnesota, and the Director of the interdisciplinary Digital Technology Center. Before that, he worked for 26 years at Bell Laboratories, after getting a PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has written over 150 papers in cryptography, number theory, computational complexity, combinatorics, coding theory, probability theory, analysis, economics of data networks, electronic publishing, electronic commerce, and related fields. He has three patents. In 1985, together with Herman J.J. te Riele, he disproved the Mertens conjecture, which, had it been true, would imply the Riemann Hypothesis. Many of his papers and articles have been widely cited, such as "Tragic loss or good riddance: The impending demise of traditional scholarly journals", "The bumpy road of electronic commerce", "Paris Metro Pricing for the Internet", "Content is not king" and "The history of communications and its implications for the Internet".
Józef Pieprzyk
Józef Pieprzyk is a Professor at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, and the Director of Centre for Advanced Computing - Algorithms and Cryptography (ACAC). He has published 5 books, 3 book chapters, and around 160 papers in refereed journals and refereed international conferences. His research interests include computer network security, database security, design and analysis of cryptographic algorithms, algebraic analysis of block and stream ciphers, theory of cryptographic protocols, secret sharing schemes, threshold cryptography, copyright protection, e-Commerce and Web security.
