Santa's Crypto Get-Together (SantaCrypt) started in December 2001 as the first annual Czech and Slovak workshop aiming to facilitate closer cooperation of professionals working in the field of applied cryptography and related areas of security. This get-together of experts is organised in order to foster exchange of information and ideas on past, ongoing, and also future projects. We recognise the need of experts meeting their colleagues without the hassle of taking care of their (potential) customers, bosses and other distracting forces. ;-) The workshop is run in English in the first day and then Czech and Slovak the second day.

There will be six invited lectures:

• Eli Biham (Technion, Haifa, Israel)
  On the (In)security of the Ciphers and Protocols of GSM,
• Gilles Brassard (Université de Montréal, Canada)
  The origin of quantum cryptography.
• Richard Clayton (University of Cambridge, UK)
  Can cryptography secure the Internet?.
• Jozef Gruska & Jan Bouda (MU, Brno)
  New directions in quantum cryptography,
• Martin Hlaváč & Tomáš Rosa ((UK, Praha & e-banka)
  Towards Disclosing the RSA Private Key of an e-Passport,
• Zdeněk Říha (MU, Brno)
  On security and crypto issues of e-passports.
