Hi all!
Would there be any interest in a math track? I would be happy to talk
about some basic attacks on factorization and discrete log (rho, index
calculus, sieving, pohlig-hellman), and could talk about elliptic curves
and all that jazz if people are up for it.
I can't go on 12/15 but I'll show up this Sunday!

I'm very interested in the math of elliptic curve cryptography and would
be very interested in participating as a student. I am interested in
the factoring, but I feel like the guideline of RSA 1024 taking 2^80
computations is enough for me.
There may be developer track things I could teach, I'd have to think
about it. Unfortunately there are 2 other events going on on the 15th
that take priority so I won't be able to participate in the December
crypto party.
I could make the planning meeting and pass on some common questions to
anyone who wants to do mobile security.
