Advances in Public Key Cryptography Standards: PKCS'99 Conference Overview

The PKCS’99 conference took place from September 29 to October 1, 1999, at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. The agenda focused on recent developments and future directions in Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS). Key presentations included Prof. Johan Håstad discussing PKCS standards #5, #12, #9, and #11, along with interoperability workshops and product demonstrations. This gathering served as a crucial platform for collaboration among industry leaders and researchers, addressing the “missing pieces” in cryptography and public key infrastructure.
