IEEE P1363 Working Group:
     Standard Specifications for Public-Key Cryptography


                       MEETING NOTICE

          Thursday, August 19, 1998, 2:00pm-5:30pm

This meeting of the P1363 working group, open to the public,
will review the status of the P1363 ballot (which will
hopefully be ready for final submission to IEEE RevCom),
review the plans for officer elections, receive new
contributions to the P1363a addendum and ideas for other
projects, refine the scope for P1363a and select additional
techniques, and plan for future work.

An information session will be held on Tuesday afternoon at
UCSB for those interested in a general introduction to P1363. 

The meeting is held in conjunction with the CRYPTO '99
conference.
