Hi All,

There are indeed ECRYPT members on the list and paying attention! One of our objectives as a network of excellence is to find ways to engage with people developing standards, implementing cryptography, etc. So there is certainly interest and appetite from individuals within ECRYPT for providing input to CFRG. 

One immediate item that may be of interest to CFRG is the annual ECRYPT report on key lengths and algorithms, which is available here:

http://www.ecrypt.eu.org/documents.html

Another item of possible interest is the following ECRYPT co-sponsored workshop happening in Cambridge (UK) in Jan/Feb 2012:

Is Cryptographic Theory Practically Relevant?
http://www.newton.ac.uk/programmes/SAS/sasw07.html 

I am co-organizer of this workshop - so if someone from CFRG is available to present, s/he would be more than welcome to have a slot!

Regards,

Kenny
